Sean "Pepe" Meyers is once of those dudes that I'm just happy I met. He's got such a unique perspective of farming and the environment. I learned a lot talking to him. Sean's IG: https://www.instagram.com/farmerpeppy/ New Clips Channel: https://www.instagram.com/shangrilathepodcast/ In this episode, we delve into the transformative world of regenerative agriculture and its impact on both small and large-scale farming practices. Starting with an exploration of Ireland's embrace of regenerative techniques, we highlight the importance of consumer-friendly farming and the benefits of home farming initiatives led by groups like Fat Fattys. We then move to discuss critical environmental issues, such as the impact of climate change on the Great Austin Aquifer and the importance of native grasses over Bermuda grass. Our conversation also touches on actionable steps to make a difference in the next 20 years. The episode continues with a historical perspective on topsoil degradation, drawing parallels with the Dust Bowl era, and examines the role of fertilizers in modern agriculture. We address the intersection of infrastructure, politics, and sustainable farming practices, shedding light on issues like greenwashing and its implications. Finally, we present a poignant clip about the Great Texas Land Sale, emphasizing the ongoing challenges and opportunities in land use and conservation. Join us as we navigate these crucial topics, offering insights and practical advice for a sustainable future.
