Food as Medicine Jerry Brunetti In 1979, Jerry Brunetti founded Agri-Dynamics with a vision of providing a line of holistic animal remedies for farm livestock, equine and pets. After witnessing first-hand the devastating results of conventional, chemically dependent, grain-based rationed farming practices, Jerry embarked on a crusade to educate and consult for farmers who made the wise choice to transition to ecologically responsible and sustainable farming. Jerry works towards improving soil and crop quality, livestock performance and health on certified organic farms. In 1999, Jerry was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and given as little as six months to live without aggressive chemotherapy. He instead chose a holistic path of nutrition, detoxification and immune modulation and applied his vast experience with farming and animal nutrition to his own health. Jerry is a highly demanded lecturer and speaker, both nationally and internationally, on topics that include soil fertility, animal nutrition and livestock health. As a result of healing himself of a life threatening episode of cancer utilizing holistic modalities, he is often speaking to audiences about the relationship of “Food as Medicine” and “Farm as Farmacy.” Jerry’s Website, Agri-Dynamics - http://www.agri-dynamics.com Jerry’s Amazing Story of Beating Cancer Holistically - http://www.agri-dynamics.com/education.html#vet Real Milk, a Directory for Finding Raw Milk - http://www.realmilk.com Podcasts Chris Stelzer no no http://agriculturalinsights.com/episode-048-keith-berns-on-selecting-and-planting-species-for-cover-crops/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=episode-048-keith-berns-on-selecting-and-planting-species-for-cover-crops http://agriculturalinsights.com/episode-048-keith-berns-on-selecting-and-planting-species-for-cover-crops/#comments Wed, 08 May 2013 14:00:49 +0000 Chris http://agriculturalinsights.com/?p=2113 http://agriculturalinsights.com/episode-048-keith-berns-on-selecting-and-planting-species-for-cover-crops/feed/ 2 0:37:36 Keith Berns from Green Cover Seed on the How, What and Why of Using Cover Crops Photo: Green Cover Seed Join me for an interview with Keith Berns from Green Cover Seed.

Facilities she has designed are located in the United States, Canada, Europe, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries. In North America, almost half of the cattle are handled in a center track restrainer system that she designed for meat plants. Curved chute and race systems she has designed for cattle are used worldwide and her writings on the flight zone and other principles of grazing animal behavior have helped many people to reduce stress on their animals during handling. Description taken from Grandin.com Connect With Temple Grandin: Temple’s Livestock Website - http://www.grandin.com Temple’s Handling Facility Designs - http://www.grandin.com/design/design.html Thank you Dr Grandin!
