Dr. Laura Kavanaugh, chief science officer, Advancing Eco Agriculture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While working at Syngenta, Kavanaugh began to see the problems with the GMO approach.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We create something as a GMO to try to overcome something in nature, but nature never sleeps,&#8221; says Kavanaugh, who has a PhD in genetics and genomics from Duke University. &#8220;There are billions of microbes, billions of everything that are eventually going to eventually crack that (GMO) code.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She realized that the GMO approach wasn\u2019t a good long-term solution because it produces a short-term impact.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;GMOs fundamentally drive a very, very narrow approach, and that\u2019s not a sustainable position,&#8221; Kavanaugh says.<\/p>\n<p>Further, she says that GMO science lacks the wisdom to understand its impact on nature.<\/p>\n<p>Kavanaugh isn\u2019t the first scientist to leave GMO science for more sustainable research. There have been others, such as cotton breeder Jane Dever who left Bayer Crop Science to develop organic cotton varieties at Texas A&amp;M\u2019s AgriLife Research and Extension Center.<\/p>\n<h2>DNA sequencing identifies soil organisms, assesses soil fertility<\/h2>\n<p>Kavanaugh saw that natural systems are the long-term solution that agriculture needs to build healthier soils.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really need to drive back to that for long-term food stability and long-term environmental impacts,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Kavanaugh\u2019s research, which focused on DNA sequencing, shifted to soils and microbial support for plant, but that didn\u2019t align with Syngenta\u2019s direction of developing and selling patented GMO crops.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very hard for a company like Syngenta to get a product out of soil health,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Kavanaugh left Syngenta in 2020 during the Covid pandemic and founded her own company, Genome Insights, LLC to further her research on the role of soil microbes for improving crop performance. At the same time, she worked as a soil health expert at the regenerative vineyard, Union Grove Farm, in Hillsborough, North Carolina, which gave her hands-on experience at applying regenerative farming principles.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Advancing Eco Agriculture\u2019s new chief science officer Laura Kavanaugh sees regenerative agriculture as a better long-term solution than the &#8220;very narrow approach&#8221; of GMOs<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Kavanaugh\u2019s work for Union Grove Farm allowed her to apply her DNA sequencing knowledge to regenerative agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was working there and learning a lot about regenerative farming,\u201d she says. \u201cWe could do a lot of the practices and try out a lot of the things most farmers are trying to do on a shoestring budget. It was the best possible place to learn regenerative farming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kavanaugh uses a handheld DNA sequencing device, which can extract the DNA from microbes and other living soil organisms, allowing her to identify the organisms and assess the fertility of soils. DNA sequencing allows farmers to track the biological life in their soil from year to year, which results from implementing regenerative agriculture practices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince fostering a healthy plant and soil microbe interaction is central to regenerative farming, it is important that farmers understand how their management practices impact soil microbes,\u201d Kavanaugh says.<\/p>\n<h3>Developing a scientific basis for regenerative agriculture<\/h3>\n<p>Earlier this year, Kavanaugh met John Kempf, founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture at a RegenOrganic conference where she was a speaker. They later spoke by phone and \u201cwe totally geeked out,\u201d Kavanaugh says.<\/p>\n<p>The two saw great possibilities working together so Kavanaugh was recently hired as chief science officer at AEA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Kavanaugh is an exceptional plant scientist who will help us explore and prove the power and hope of regenerative agriculture,\u201d Kempf says. \u201cI was able to hear her speak at the RegenOrganic Conference and was immediately impressed by how she was applying DNA sequencing technologies to assess soil fertility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kavanaugh is excited about the opportunity to apply her scientific knowledge including DNA sequencing with AEA\u2019s \u201cboots on the ground\u201d experience working with farmers.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It\u2019s a fundamental shift in our paradigm that we\u2019re moving into a recognition of the power of living biology in the soil and inside of the plants themselves&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThey have such a deep knowledge of regenerative farming and actual practical experience,\u201d she says. \u201cI got excited about the possibilities of combining all of that knowledge and what we could create for regenerative farming at large and just really develop a very sound scientific basis for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In her new role, Dr. Kavanaugh will lead all science, research, and development for AEA. This includes gathering, organization, and assessment of current science, and developing a strategy for future research and development. Kavanaugh\u2019s focus will be how DNA sequencing and other advanced technologies can be used to demonstrate the power of the plant-microbe interactions that are already functioning within natural systems\u2014and which are at the heart of regenerative agriculture.<\/p>\n<h4>Regenerative agriculture: a fundamental paradigm shift<\/h4>\n<p>How would Kavanaugh define regenerative agriculture? \u201cIt\u2019s a fundamental shift in our paradigm that we\u2019re moving into a recognition of the power of living biology in the soil and inside of the plants themselves,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>She says nature has \u201ca highly effective system that already has the capability to not only grow food, but thrive and be highly resilient to all these environmental changes. It\u2019s already there, and we have to learn how to work with it in an optimal way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Kavanaugh\u2019s goal is to advance regenerative agriculture and bring scientific rigor to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the best ways I could do that is to drive the success of AEA and make them more impactful by increasing the research and the data they have and combine that with what their consultants already know. That is going to be a powerful combination to advance,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author:<\/strong>\u00a0Ken Roseboro.\u00a0<em>Article republished with permission from <a href=\"https:\/\/non-gmoreport.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Organic &amp; Non-GMO Report<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bioecoactual.com\/en\/subscription\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Subscribe<\/a>\u00a0at our Newsletter and be up to date with the latest news from the Organic Sector<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Bio Eco Actual<\/strong>, International Organic Newspaper<br \/>\n<\/em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bioecoactual.com\/en\/newspaper-library\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Bio Eco Actual<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&rsquo;s not often that a scientist will transition from the narrow-focused science of genetically modified crops to the natural systems approach of regenerative agriculture.
