Ep. 75 How TeraGanix is Making Regenerative Farming Actually Profitable
2d ago00:46:44Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Pasture Prime Time, Neil and co-host Amanda Smith sit down with Chad and Tjasa Krause, the husband-and-wife team behind TeraGanix, to explore what it really takes to make regenerative agriculture practical, profitable, and scalable for today’s farmers. From reducing nitrogen inputs through biological solutions to improving soil functionality, profitability, and long-term sustainability, Chad and Tjasa share how their company is helping producers transition away from chemical-heavy systems without sacrificing yields or livelihoods. The conversation dives into the realities farmers face — from rising input costs and supply chain pressures to human health concerns and land ownership — while emphasizing the importance of creating real-world solutions that keep farms profitable and agriculture in the hands of producers. This episode is a candid and inspiring discussion on regenerative agriculture, stewardship, and building a more resilient future for farming.Connect with Neil, Amanda, Tjasa and Chad!Neil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regensystems25/Amanda: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-smith-elevatedTjasa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tja%C5%A1a-krause-5a62a4157Chad: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chad-krause-49908a41/Set up your FREE Grow Wallet: https://app.growblockchain.net/Join the Grow Skool here: https://www.skool.com/thegrowskool/about?ref=3952ada279f74a1c9096aac759ab62d3Each episode features inspiring stories and discussions on new ways to nourish our planet and its people.
