Regenerative Farming Practices Vying To Stop Food From Making Us Sick

The Heart of Innovation with Kym McNicholas

In our latest episode of The Heart of Innovation, Emmy Award-winning journalist Kym McNicholas and interventional cardiologist Dr. John Phillips dive deep into the transformative world of regenerative farming with two extraordinary guests.

Groundbreaking Nutrient Density Research:

Recent studies reveal the incredible potential of regenerative agriculture:

• 21% More Nutrients: The Bionutrient Food Association found regeneratively-grown vegetables contain significantly more nutrients than USDA averages

• Mineral Boost: Regenerative wheat shows:

  • 58% more selenium

  • 27% more zinc

• Vitamin Power: Regenerative vegetables demonstrate:

  • 22% more iron

  • 19% more vitamin C

Why Regenerative Farming Matters:

Conventional industrial agriculture has led to:

• Declining soil health

• Reduced nutrient density in crops

• Increased nutrient deficiencies in communities

Regenerative Agriculture Offers:

• Improved soil microbiome

• Enhanced crop nutrient profiles

• Increased food security

• Reduced environmental impact

Special Guests: • Richard Lackey, World Food Bank Chairman • Joni Kindwall-Moore, Snacktivist Foods CEO

Political Landscape: With RFK Jr. potentially leading Health & Human Services and championing regenerative agriculture, we explore how this approach could revolutionize our food system.

Key Discussion Points:

• What is regenerative farming?

• How does it differ from modern agricultural practices?

• Potential impact on nutrient density and public health

• Economic and environmental benefits

The Science Behind the Transformation: Regenerative practices like cover cropping, reduced tillage, and diverse crop rotations create:

• Healthier soil microbiomes

• More resilient ecosystems

• Nutrient-rich food systems

Emerging Research Insight: Regenerative agriculture isn’t just about sustainability—it’s about creating a holistic approach to food production that benefits:

• Soil health

• Plant nutrition

• Human wellness

• Environmental sustainability

Tune in to discover how regenerative farming is set to transform our understanding of food, nutrition, and ecological balance!
