Will Harris is the owner of White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, Georgia, where he raises grass-fed cattle.
Prior to the mid-'90s, Harris ran his farm the way his father and most every other farmer in the country had — "as a very linear, monocultural cattle operation," he says during an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," "The factory farm model."
He now practices what he describes as regenerative agriculture, warning that it's only a matter of time before Big Ag corrupts this term "and takes it away from us." Regenerative agriculture, Harris says, "is a kinder, gentler agriculture ... we call it biomimicry, the emulation of nature."
