>What is a regenerative organic farming?

Regenerative organic farming is just permaculture.
No fertilizers, no tilling, no herbicides, no pesticides, you use a combination of cover crops, hedges, crop rotation, mixed planting, and grazing, to restore soil health while growing whatever you're growing.

>Is it good or bad?

This trend was largely first introduced to the world by Masanobu Fukuoka, a Japanese microbiologists and agricultural scientists. As far as he was concerned he was looking for a minimal-effort, no-inputs, means to produce food indefinitely. Fukuoka's hypothesis of permaculture was that everything was dictated by the relationship soil had with weeds, microbes, and insects, and if he could just groom those three aspects into some kind of homeostasis that benefited him - he wouldn't have to do anything else.

>Are we all going to starve to death because retarded organic hippies are taking over the FDA and rolling back all the modern scientific progress in agriculture?

Yes.
Permaculture & organic farming are excellent for the environment, but they're not productive, nor efficient enough, to feed the billions of people that largescale industrial agriculture does. Switching to permaculture methods would be beneficial to the environment, but it would make every single scrap of food infinitely more expensive, and meat a rare luxury.

>Is he a headcase or is he legit?

He's lying a little bit.
-Salatin uses heritage chickens for his eggs, but industrial hybridized broiler hens for meat, as normal chickens simply cannot gain enough mass.
-Likewise, he also finishes his pigs on grain he purchases.
-Salatin hires hippy 'interns' that he pays very little, doesn't train (everything is a trade secret), and has them live in shacks that consistently infect them with campylobacteriosis, due to an improperly installed plumbing system in said shacks.
