A Forest for the Chickens—Rethinking Poultry Production with Twilight Greenaway and Regi Haslett-Marroquin

475

In this episode of Eat. Drink. Think, we speak with Twilight Greenaway and Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin about regenerative poultry production.

Twilight is the executive editor of Civil Eats and is the author of a recent story that was done in partnership with Edible Communities.

Reginaldo, or Regi, is featured in the story as he shares the history and vision for Tree-Range Farms, a Minnesota-based network of over forty farms stewarding land and raising chickens among trees and perennial crops using a method that supports both the land and the birds. Through this network, and as the founder of the nonprofit Regenerative Agriculture Alliance, he is focused on creating a collective governance structure to ensure the ecosystem’s social, economic and ecological criteria remain intact as it grows in scope and scale.

Our discussion goes deeper into the topic of regenerative poultry production and both Twilight and Regi share their observations, hopes and vision for the future.
