Advancing Eco Agriculture – Ohio, USA

John Kempf is an entrepreneur, speaker, podcast host and teacher in the field of biological and regenerative farming. He is passionate about the potential of well managed agriculture ecosystems to reverse ecological degradation. He founded Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA 2006), a plant nutritionist biostimulants consulting company, to deploy his deep knowledge of sustainable horticulture in a way that makes it easy for fellow farmers to change their growing habits. By working with international industry leaders, John has assembled a systems-based approach to plant nutrition based on physiology, mineral nutrition, and soil microbiology. As the host of the Regenerative Agriculture Podcast, John’s goal is to support the world’s local farmers in a way that impacts the global food supply. He has a unique ability to simplify and clearly explain very complex concepts in the areas of soil and plant health. He skillfully discusses the larger social and environmental impacts of food, agriculture, and ecology.

It is John’s mission to have these regenerative models of agriculture management become the mainstream globally by 2040. He believes regenerative agriculture management systems can:

Regenerate producer profitability and create economic incentives for producers
Produce crops that are inherently resistant to possible infections by insects, bacteria, fungi, nematodes and viruses, eliminating the need for pesticides.
Produce food that can regenerate public health, with an elevated content of immune compounds that transfer plant immunity to livestock and people, providing food as medicine.
Rapidly sequester carbon, build soil organic matter much faster than commonly expected, restore hydrological cycles, cool the climate, and reduce the water requirements of a crop.

Healthy plants can become completely resistant to disease and insects.
