Aquaponics and hydroponic do have promise at large scale and Arizona is great for it. However having some form of soil bed is great for biology diversity for proper nutrient dense meat and crops. Body biology is our immune systems, and we have just been killing healthy biology for decades and decades.
Just cause rich fucks needed to sell nitrates that they could no longer use to make bombs
I think, I think, i think…….
Mark Shepard has a great company for this RAD (restorative agricultural design) and his own farm he stored from BigAg

Geoff Lawton has great Permaculture vids and a walkthrough Zaytuna Farm and Greening the Desert project
Dr Elaine Ingram has great vids on soil biology which are incredibly important as well
Please people do more research than listening to guys like this. You can tell in the way he’s talking he doesn’t even know. Regenerative has been debunked by many peer reviewed studies and there are a few good YouTube videos out there that break it down. Please do more research and don’t take these guys’ word.
The reality around paddock or pasture sizing depends of a number of variables including density of plant material being grazed, the size of the animal in this case, what measurable outputs over what period of time, type of animal, water cycles (rain)….forcing science as a consistent measure is likely not such a great operational approach let alone the inconsistencies inherent to the many considerable factors. The as Greg Judy speaks of so eloquently is that matter of being out there with the animals, moving according to their needs, time of year and considerations in water, growth and recovery rates after grazing, short and long season rotations……. the point is much more an art than a input to output measure in scalability. Consider that over grazing would damage the growth recovery rates and prevent a number of factors that would be measured… as we know from solar collection rates with panels, the variable factors are numerous, then factor in the biological solar collectors that grazing pastures are, how quickly they recover, what the nutrient concentrations can look like in that time and the cumulative effect on the animals in rotation….. and these are but a few points to consider in this type of grazing… and I didn’t mention the density of mob grazing and its impact effecting movements at different times of the year etc…… such that the measured outputs in terms of what different industries might be looking for will not answer they’re questions nor speak to the value of this type of production on a scalability notion. Quality and amount of top soil has alot to do with this very questions…… the inputs measured over time would look pretty wekk in terms of how these identified isolated factors can be measured and what would effect them. These measures are perhaps better quantified in a more integrated, multi enterprise (read intentional production effort) And we’re back to the notion of complex art
form with human stewardship and build from there. What is so often understood among on the ground farmers of old, in particular is that smaller, multifunctioning, concentrated operations often have great outputs and can change for a number of reasons much like combining different aspects of what goes into an artform and how its eventual outcome can become very different depending on what is done and how its done over the time of the processes considered….. if that makes any sense in the written word with an effort toward keeping it shorter….
