Wow, this impacted me so much! I long for another story. I feel like all of our lives depend on this.

Sounds nice. But does it make a profit? Does it make more and more and more and more and more profit?

Firstly, thankyou for your video and research, Claudia =) We mine almost everywhere now, and leave trash to effect almost all water systems, so how will this feed people safely? Heavy metals from Bivalves/filter-feeders are not safe to eat in continuity. More needs to be done about cleaning up the mess we have made. Reducing mining etc to only areas that will not negatively effect water systems and retrieving and reprocessing land fill materials (safely and thoroughly as not to recontaminate the lands and waters). These are just some of the things we can start doing. We are massively capable and creative beings, we CAN align our living ways to be beneficial to all life.

Amazing story so far! Well said, well put, and well made! Agreed! I'm connecting this with Daniel Quinn and Derrick Jensen and Indigenous ways like discussed here. The root of the world's problems is basically western civilization. And the story we tell is the heart of the root of our issues. Let's decolonize, learn from Indigenous communities and ways, and tell a new story!

This was such an interesting topic. Loved your approach and the way you connected the parallels for all of those examples.

The population of the earth isn’t going to reach ten billion. I think Bricker and Ibbitson are right. The population will never make nine billion, and will drastically drop by end of century.

This reminds me of NZ Māori precolonial burial practices. Sometimes the dead were placed in the cavities of certain trees until they decomposed and just the bones were left before being collected and hidden in caves. Idk too much about this bcuz its not practiced anymore but it may have been specific to certain tribes with variations and probably reserved for certain classes of people.

1:15 / 2:10 - that's a great illustration, and a _very_ good point about asking the locals; even if they don't know, it only takes a few hours _and_ it gets them involved in the research. It's also a great aquaculture system. Planet Wild has a video out (17 Nov 2024) about putting statues and hollow blocks offshore to prevent illegal trawling along the Italian coast. Similar, but different; might be complimentary to put blocks further out from clam gardens, but you'd need to ask someone who understands the ecology and hydrology about the interactions and compatibility.

Great to see more people talking about this. Indigenous Australians also used fire to tune the landscape, in particular to encourage the kangaroos population. This is in fact is a form of open range farming. The practice also improves wider biodiversity and helps reduce the chance of large destructive fires. A hearty like and sub. 😎au.

Super respectable and easy-to-follow academic educational content. You know when there’s a certain concept you know of, or “understand”, that not everyone knows of or understands, but then when someone perfectly adheres to one of those concepts, you get a super satisfying and “clear” or “awake”feeling - the charisma and pacing of this video is like an amalgamation of that.

Hi Claudia! Your content is great and your passion is contagious! Could you point to where you draw the techniques applied by the bolivian indigenous people at 12:34? Sorry to be annoying! I knew about black soils in the Amazon, but had never heard about the zigzag structures or the fish ponds / hunting.

go queen ‼‼✨✨

Thank you again for you work!

Thank you for making this video ❤

What do you mean when you say "feed the world"?

You lost me at reducing meat consumption. That's a sure fire recipe for reducing the health of our human population. Instead, we should encourage meat consumption from sustainable ranching practices that improve the land and environment where that meat is raised. I.e. regenerative ranching practices versus concentrated animal feeding operations.

This is the idea that Bill Mollison had when he developed the "permaculture" farming methods. Unfortunately, people have twisted his ideas for their own profit and use the word where it shouldn't be used.

I really loooooooooooved this video! I truly love the change you gave to your channel/communication and the message you are spreading and starting to share. Thank you so much ❤🎉

Grain and seed crops are inferior to meat from animals.

The amount of views for this quality is ridiculous! How is this not in the millions?

Sorry but's it's hard to comprend you when one isn't a Liverpool street dweller

Just found your channel! Love this, thanks for sharing

i really hope your channel takes off in a big way

That guy around 2:00 was inspiring. An elder behaving as an elder. Passing on the wisdom they have held onto.

I used to worry about exponential population growth. But it seems like we will taper off naturally at some point, people have less o kids when living soft modern excessive lives. Want to keep more of it themselves. The problem is the ongoing increase in use per individual, there is no limit to greed. Billionaires demonstrate that the hunger is endless if you give your life to it, like a drug addiction. People gotta learn to see through it and voluntarily seek simple lives because they actually see it as a better, richer life than the excess approach. Time in the garden, hands in the soil, mind zooming in and out contextually and making connections between systems, can increase harmony and abundance of the system when in tune with it. Just thought about the language planetary ecologist Kynes taught the Fremen to deeply understand ecosystem regeneration. We could use something like that, some way to make it understandable and actionable by everyone. A bunch of shared stories around managing complex living systems. Haven't watched the video yet, paused at the begining to rant :)

This is an amazing and inspiring video, I truly hope you go far with this.

IMO we need to do something to reduce population. Too many people on the planet as it is.

Me living in the Netherlands

Looks so well made, saw the thumbnail and thought "oh I don't know this creator but the thumbnail is giving quality content vibes, let's give it a shot" then realised how small of a creator you are (no offense) and was happy thinking I might have found a gem in the making! Only a few minutes in to the video rn (paused so I can write a hopefully encouraging comment) but my confidence in you and this video/channel is high! Already subbed! Edit: Small creator, much bigger than I thought, learned more after looking you up!

Regarding your content. Banger after banger. Minister for future advancements!

I'd love to see more modern engineering that was inspired by indigenous tradition

Bioregional mapping! Genius! I hope this helps humanity heal our damaged biosphere

Is fascinating to know that we, human beings, can be more than a devastating virus but an agent of Nature's growth

I grew up on Vancouver Island (that big oblong land mass in the thumbnail) and honestly it's deeply troubling how much Indigenous knowledge in that region is being neglected, if not altogether lost. People have lived around the Salish Sea for _thousands_ of years, but in the past few hundred it feels almost like there's been an explicit attempt to undo all the work they put into managing the land and cooperating with the natural world in that region. Thank you for bringing attention to these things, on behalf of my friends back home

Soylent green.

Niesamowite to jest

Such an incredible video - well researched, such an important topic, and high quality presentation! You've earned my subscription and i really hope others do too, because what you're saying is what everyone should be listening to.

Your numbers are all wrong. All the estimates in your video are wrong. I know you are using data published by experts, but they are making the assumption that the current farming techniques are as efficient as those used by the native peoples you have described here. They are not. Please do a search for 'Chinampas'. This is a way of farming very similar to the one the ppl of the Amazonian rain forest used, except that it is still in use today in Mexico City. It is the most efficient farming method, producing up to 7 hearvest per year. The land that the UK would need to produce the same amount of calories is far smaller than what experts have calculated IF farmed in a more efficient manner

Great video! Good job!

What you are advocating for is called subsistence agriculture and it's a lot less romantic than people think.

I really love this amazing and very positive content you are creating. Kudos!

Great video and meticulous research put into that! I just wanted to add one other important point to feed our human populations in the present and future: Redistribution! After all, famines in the past have often not been caused by shortages in the overall supply, but by shortcomings in equal distribution...

Lots of info. Impressive work

This is a wonderfully made video! On a subject that’s so important but rarely addressed 😃 The Native American, like so many indigenous cultures, were truly incredible in their understanding of land and their role in it. We can have such a wonderful society if we shifted to this mindset again 🙌

Me acabo de encontrar con este vídeo y este canal, y no puedo evitar ver las similitudes con HUGE (if true) de Cleo Abram, y lo digo en el buen sentido, necesitamos más canales así, ánimo con el proyecto 🙌🏻

Was reading a lot of these in my anth undergrad Glad to hear it's catching on with folks Let's find the people who we can do this work with

Coming across this video is like finding the finest gem in an endless ocean of scum

I love this channel. Everything you present is fascinating and novel to me and makes me love the planet. You are a breath of fresh air.

I always love how well made(edition, info, storytelling) your videos are, amazing work!!

I love your video style and passion you have for the topics you talk about. As I'm currently working on world building for my project your videos are very useful - my race will definitely have few clam gardens now. Already curious what's your next video will be about. And I can say with your approach you would be an amazing author, the world building would be top notch.
