Agroecology in China: 300% Increase on 8.6 Million Acres - Loess Plateau

[@mariliadamasceno8680]

That´s one of the biggest problems here in Brazil, farmers stops agricultire to raise cattle, ´´its so stupidiy trying resolve one problem and creating many more´´

[@stenbjorsell7054]

Great example of how permaculture again converts flash floods and deserts to abundance throughout the years. So many of us still believe all flash floods and land slides are natural catastrophes beyond our control. Nearly all these events have been directly caused by modern agriculture and industrial deforestation. The reversal through swales and terracing means irrigation is replaced by natural slow waterflows that not only provide water for growth but also then start to replenish the ground water with slow filtered pure water. In California ground water is now being used for irrigation and helpless attempts to store water in rapidly evaporating reservoirs are being made. The permaculture option stores rain water in the soil and the ground, even if it only rains once or twice a year. Rains that become absorbed and keep streams and rivers flow slowly throughout the year without drying up. The way it was before modern agriculture.

Yes, but this isn't permaculture. Its still broadscale farming of monocultures which is not sustainable. Less people and permaculture is the only answer.

[@mtun812]

I could watch this a billion more times its great!

[@ArkyMassey]

i love how we can look back at this and explain it and be happy about it :)

[@jamescc2010]

We need to viral this documentary and spread this belief and take actions in large scale.

[@FreshMeatDaily]

I hope you make more of these videos! I cant wait for the next one!

[@jillmad43]

I watched a video about the permaculture project that predated and set the pattern for the original, highly-successful restoration of a horribly degraded area in China, I cannot recall if it was Bill Mollison's project, but if it was bot, it certainly was one of his student's, Right now I am too busy taking Geoff Lawton's Permaculture Design Course to spend any time looking for it - but I urge you to check out each man's work - great to see this wonderful result in action!

[@urbanpermie6307]

Bill Mollison and David Holgrem are great men, Good to see that students of theirs like Geoff are passing on thier knowledge with skill,but this is not permaculture.

[@InvalidAuthorization]

amazing results! I would love to see/read more about the actual tactics taken to get these results. would love to apply to a homestead!

[@MrHaisdu]

Nice video... Please upload more

[@Kyvu252]

good jjos i will se your others videos

[@hieunghia90]

Thanks so much for the help you have been giving me.

[@PictureInHerPocket]

you can bet ill be putting this in my favorites

[@TheRanDesign]

SICK, that was just sick, very nice video, i would like to see another one from you subbed!

[@bluemonster4339]

Well done video ! First class ad !

[@fiestanunu]

sooo cool!! love it. ill be watching ur other vids! :)

[@hieuhoa01]

Cant believe how good this video is

[@morganphenix189]

Superb evidence of the possible futures, both generative and destructive. America, take note, beyond our immediate wants. Morgan Phenix

[@lilfrnz]

Nice vid! I favorited, thumbs uped, and subscribed!

[@DivinityPlace]

Exciting and inspiring.

[@FrozenDarkPC0704]

i love this video, i actually watch it every day!!

[@Jefferdaughter]

It's also interesting to note the effects that insustrial air pollution, car exhaust, etc has on weather and climate - not just the greenhouse effect, but also affecting whea and where rain falls. An interesting topic to look into; not sure if it is mentioned in this video.

[@EthanWang93]

nice really this was sooo amazing

[@baal171]

cool video

[@jingaowang]

Great jobs!

[@actiontime33]

I can't believe the difference between the before and after. I've never seen anything like it. Projects like this could literally change the world. Why do we hear about more of them?

[@njghtmare92]

Favorite and Like! Worth it!

[@1dollarsignups]

Well done on that!

[@tah533]

That was great, good job!

[@stefzen6930]

Wow!

[@stefzen6930]

Jedenfalls finde ich es sehr erfreulich, dass es möglich ist :) Ich glaube es gibt in Afrika auch ahnlich Projekte und in Indien hat ein einzelner Mann auch mehrere Hektar wieder in Wald verwandelt... Hoffnung ist durchaus begründet.

[@gedimazs1]

Youre amazing

[@dude1diligence]

Awesome

[@tuananhc1dn]

i loved the video but i hated the fact that the video ended so soon

[@jackspatch14]

There is a 56min version of this

[@hungppiep]

best videos on youtube

[@SolarCraig83]

Love the video

[@Oggiwara1]

How is this area doing today 25 years later? Still doing well?

[@wtpmax]

GNARLY! i really like this!

[@tearang3l]

LOL!!!!! please make more, this is so funny!!!

[@601salsa]

I dream of being responsible for rehabilitating 50 acres....... just trying to figure out how to buy the land and build the critical essentials cheaply

[@auntynette7503]

This shows it can be done. We need to step back & actually look at what the problems are and look at the bigger picture, not just for the longer term but repair & benefits in the shorter and mid term as well. The impoverished need to eat in the meantime.So long as they can by some means, feed their family in the transition time, much more of this will happen around the world.They need to know that their families wont starve and educate them in a better balanced thriving & productive ecosystem.

[@NeToNHacKz]

you save my day !!

[@navnit3978]

good example for the rest of the world, it will benefit mankind and everything else too

[@sieunhan369]

i use it for 3 months i fall? in love with this

[@Stopbeingretardedall]

This is why weeds illegal in America. Because once people start getting high and realize they value there life. They are going to want to tear down our corrupt system as they are. And start really working hard for there families. Also it revolve socializing and subsidizing the oil companies for the future. Not them subsidizing our future for there short term profits.

[@Swansen03]

you know what they did in Japan to solve this same issue?? same problem to, what farmer wants to plant unproductive trees? so, this guy explained to the farmers if they planted a diversity, fruit trees, nut trees, shrubs, ect, the next generation would benefit as well the hills were saved in the process.

[@binhhhk]

I love you that was great

[@zack_120]

The vastness and homogeneousis of the Loess plateau suggests it's not the result of human activities, like animal overgrazing, which would've left traces and patterns of such activities. The Chinese geologists need to understand their home better through relentless research to help take more scientific actions of this sort.

[@Jefferdaughter]

Conventional farming, like row cropping, also degrades land. Holistic Management International states that 'livestock is one of the best tools we have for restoring degraded land'. Allan Sabvory and others have proven it, time and again. The key is in the MANAGEMENT. As the Permaculture Research Institute says, 'the patterns are found in natural eco-systems'. Which, by the way, all include animals...

[@InvincibleRain]

That looks great but hopefully the trend of paying farmers not to farm ceased immediately. Paddock shift grazing would be good but i imagine they don't have fencing but a shepherd could possibly do it. If everyone isn't on board it will go desert again. Half of america will slowly turn to that desert If the ag practices aren't changed.

[@WestCoastHemp]

amen

[@Virang12345]

[@m.j.debruin3041]

If we help nature a little bit with waterworks, and prevent over grazing,we will get tenfold rewarded by nature.

[@jackriley77]

Anyone watching this banger in 2023?

[@cucsat01]

nice great jop

[@dude1diligence]

Tell that to GMOnsanto

A little obsession with carbon in this documentary.

[@WilliamTheSinner]

The farmers were given private contacts to land, Their efforts were paid for and the they earned money from the crops directly. They were responsible for the success or failure of their own land. They took an interest in their own success. See episode 3 of the 6 part series, between minutes 5:30 and 8:30. Even China realizes that on some level socialism sucks. If only they would drop the Climate change PS which has almost nothing to do with permaculture other than justification for government taxation via carbon credits. Compost creates carbon.

[@shiroineko13]

Fossil fuels takes carbon from deep underground which has been trapped there for millions and millions of years. Once that is burned and spewed out in the air, there is no easy way to take it out again. That cannot be compared to the carbon that is emitted by decaying plant matter and compost, which is sequestered again after a while. It's called the carbon cycle, and humans disrupt that cycle with their activity. It adds excess carbon to the cycle. To better appreciate the (extreme) extent the greenhouse effect can reach, look at Venus and Mars where an abundance and lack of CO2 causes sweltering and frigid temperatures, respectively.
