Summary
In today's episode, you'll embark on an inspiring journey from the world of vegan energy bars to the pioneering realms of regenerative agriculture with Robby Sansom and Taylor Collins, the visionary co-founders of Force of Nature (use code GREENFIELD15 to save 15%) and Roam Ranch in Texas.
Throughout this show, you'll get to explore topics like why bison offer superior nutritional benefits and a richer flavor profile compared to domesticated cattle, the invaluable ecological impact these magnificent creatures have on landscapes, and how modern ranchers are using biomimicry to replicate their natural migration patterns for healthier ecosystems.
Our discussion also takes a deep dive into the principles of regenerative agriculture, highlighting practices like rainwater catchment, soil restoration, and the shift from industrial to planet-based farming. You'll also hear about Robby's and Taylor's transition from their successful vegan bar company, Epic, to creating a regeneratively raised meat company, Force of Nature, that champions ethical and sustainable practices. Additionally, we’ll touch on fascinating topics such as the nutritional and culinary benefits of incorporating organ meats, the unique taste of freshly harvested liver, the broader implications of your food choices on the environment, and much more!
Force of Nature was co-founded to accelerate the creation of a global regenerative supply network. Force of Nature works in partnership with land stewards, ranchers, and farmers committed to creating a positive return on the planet. With Force of Nature, consumers now can invest in environmental regeneration by consuming meat that is good for the planet.
This episode not only offers a wealth of knowledge on nutrition and sustainable agriculture but also provides a compelling narrative on the steps you can take to forge a healthier, more connected world.
