Reducing emissions of greenhouse gases lies at the crux of reversing climate change. Experts agree that organic farming is not only more natural and holistic for the planet but profoundly rehabilitates, or “regenerates,” degraded soil. This approach slashes emission of greenhouse gases. Compared to conventional methods – and in the wake of recent devastating weather and wildfires – it’s crucial that it also benefits storm water runoff, output during drought, and the quality of air, ecosystems, animals, and humans. It grows food that is tastier and healthier.
This project centers on Brian Fox and his wife Rachel, who run a regenerative farm in northeastern Pennsylvania. A third-generation farmer on this land, Brian and his wife are savvy about how to optimize their farm, while parenting two young children. These photos demonstrate how they spend their long days as partners with nature’s way and the soil. He says, “Instead of trying to subdue nature, we work with it and encourage it.” Their holistic philosophy and lifestyle also lead to a community of farmers, who help each other when it’s needed.
