What if the true measure of agriculture isn't yield or profit—but energy?

In this thought-provoking episode, Jared Sorensen sits down with regenerative agriculture pioneer Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin to explore a transformative perspective on farming. Reginaldo challenges conventional ideas about food production, wealth, and our relationship with the natural world, arguing that farms are far more than commodity-producing factories—they are living systems designed to capture, transform, and regenerate energy.

Drawing from decades of experience designing regenerative agroforestry systems, he explores how sunlight, soil biology, plants, livestock, and people are all connected through the continuous flow of energy. He reveals why regenerative agriculture isn't simply about sustainable practices—it's about restoring ecosystems, building resilient regional food systems, and creating lasting wealth for communities rather than extracting profit.

You'll also hear how his poultry-centered regenerative model integrates trees, livestock, soil health, biodiversity, and local economies into a thriving ecosystem that benefits farmers, consumers, and the planet alike.

Whether you're a farmer, entrepreneur, sustainability advocate, or simply curious about the future of food, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and inspire a new way of thinking about agriculture.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why energy—not profit—is the true currency of regenerative agriculture
• How healthy ecosystems naturally create abundance
• The role of livestock in accelerating soil regeneration
• Why regenerative farming requires systems thinking beyond the farm gate
• How community-driven food systems can build long-term economic resilience

Tune in for a fascinating conversation that redefines what it means to farm regeneratively—and why the future of agriculture starts by understanding the flow of energy.
