Welcome to the fifth of the monthly expert panel discussions. As I mentioned before, each month I\u2019ll be hosting discussions and debates between some of the most prominent voices in regenerative agriculture, soil science, restoration land management and more.\xa0\n\n\n\nIn this session, I hosted a discussion on farm business finances with my friends and colleagues at Climate Farmers, a non-profit organization working to advance regenerative agriculture in Europe.\xa0In this panel I got two of my favorite voices on the subject of farm economics and business advice to talk about how managing the whole ecosystem of their farms has saved them money and improved the profitability of their businesses. \n\n\n\nSince these discussions are longer than the regular weekly episodes, I\u2019ll keep the intro short and jump right into the introductions for our two panelists\n\n\n\nMark Shepard is the CEO of Forest Agriculture Enterprises LLC, founder of Restoration Agriculture Development LLC and award-winning author of the books, Restoration Agriculture and Water for Any Farm. He is most widely known as the founder of New Forest Farm, the 106-acre perennial agricultural savanna considered by many to be one of the most ambitious sustainable agriculture projects in the United States.\n\n\n\nMichael Ableman: is a farmer, author, photographer and urban and local food systems advocate who has been farming organically since the early 1970\u2032s and is considered one of the pioneers of the organic farming and urban agriculture movements.
