Back when we were making carbon nation, it became clear to me (Peter Byck) that our soils offered a spectacular way to draw down carbon from the air, where it’s become a problem, and get it back into our soils, where it is sorely needed. (I got to learn this stuff from a bunch of really smart people) 

The folks who were the best, fastest, and most profitable at making this carbon shift (from air to soil), were the cattle farmers and ranchers in the carbon cowboys documentary.

Carbon Cowboys are the men and women who are utilizing a regenerative way to graze cattle that mimics how herds of bison grazed The Great Plains of North America, and built some of the world’s deepest and richest soils.

Now onto our latest project... 

“Roots So Deep” is guided by director and wrangler of scientists Peter Byck as he meets farmers on both sides of the fence – the folks practicing an adaptive way to graze, and their neighbors set in their generational method of doing things. Byck’s team of outcast scientists are measuring what’s happening on both sides of the fences – exploring if this adaptive grazing could help slow down climate change.
