[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 6733738, member: 71668"] ahh, but people producing "just" commodities can also be profitable. In many cases, highly so. They can also do it regeneratively, sustainably, or what ever term they wish to apply to it. It doesn't necessarily follow that commodity production is bad . . . but yeah, everyone just has to do what works for them and that's why I reject the idea of labels. Everyone’s holistic context is different, different motivations, desires, goals, land type, industry, climate, financial position etc etc. that's why regen doesn't fit into a tight box, like say organic does. Organic is clear, straight simple box. Wether it is "better" or "worse" than other farming methods, for this discussion, is unclear & frankly irrelevant. If you are an organic grower & want to fit that box & can see an advantage to it - fine, great. It is generally very clear & defined & acknowledged what that means my problem with "branding" or marketing things as "regenerative" is the definition is too wide, too diverse, to have any real meaning or accountability as a marketing "label" to do so, I believe, just waters down the whole concept of being regenerative . . . but hay ho, that's just me . . .
