Can Nature Replace Chemicals in Farming? Why Regenerative Agriculture Works! [MARCO CARBONARA]
Description
What if wolves were your farming allies, not your enemies? What if chickens could replace pesticides and do a better job?
In this episode, we step into the world of Marco Carbonara, a regenerative farmer and ecologist who has spent the last 20 years building a thriving, self-sustaining farm ecosystem in the wild heart of central Italy.
🌱 What you’ll learn
Why regenerative agriculture is more profitable and more stable over time
How biodiversity and animals create natural pest control
Why soil health and photosynthesis are the true engines of productivity
How to transition away from extractive farming without going broke
Why industrial agriculture is collapsing, and what must come next
🐄 About Marco
Marco and his wife left city life behind to regenerate a wild plateau in central Italy. Today, their farm thrives without pesticides or synthetic inputs, using livestock, trees, and rotational grazing to restore the land. His story is a masterclass in ecosystem restoration and sustainable farming — grounded in science and lived experience.
