A rancher in Mexico is using regenerative agriculture practices to transform his pastureland.
Alejandro Carillo’s 30,000-acre ranch is nested in the Chihuahuan Desert in northern Mexico. He says about 12 years ago a soil health practitioner gave him a new outlook on his pastures.
“He looked at my land, he looked at my hills and mountain range, and I just pretty much have a lot of bare ground and rocks. And he told me the more degraded fields (and) parts of the ranch, that’s where the best grasses were.”
He tells Brownfield that began a journey to make the ranch more resilient.
