Discover how to design profitable, resilient agricultural landscapes using the principles of restoration agriculture. In this episode, Jared Sorensen hosts renowned agroforestry expert Mark Shepard for a deep, practical conversation about transforming degraded land, capturing water, integrating livestock, and building perennial ecosystems that thrive under stress.

Whether you're a rancher in the high desert, a farmer in the Midwest, or a land steward anywhere in between, Mark breaks down how to:

• Shape land to harvest and store water naturally
• Use perennial systems to build soil and long-term resilience
• Integrate crops, trees, and livestock into one profitable system
• Reduce inputs while increasing total ecosystem yield
• Apply restoration agriculture at backyard scale or large-acreage scale

Mark also shares insights from real projects across the U.S., and explains how restoration agriculture supports long-term profit, stewardship, and ecosystem regeneration.

In this episode of the Profitable Steward Podcast, Jared sits down with AJ Richards, founder of FromTheFarm.org, to talk about the future of ranching, food security, and building a resilient, profitable direct-to-consumer model.

AJ shares his journey from ranching roots to creating a nationwide platform connecting consumers directly with farmers and ranchers—cutting out middlemen and helping producers keep more of the retail dollar.

They also dive into:
• The current state of the livestock industry
• The fragility of our modern food system
• Why herd numbers are at record lows
• AJ’s recent meetings in Washington D.C. advocating for producers
• The importance of public land grazing
• How consumers and ranchers can work together to change the system

If you’re a rancher looking for a better market, a consumer who wants real food from real people, or someone who cares about the future of American agriculture—this conversation is for you.
