During Soil Regen Summit 2021: Hope for the Future, filmmaker and ecosystem regeneration expert, John D. Liu, described the inspiration for the Ecosystem Restoration Camps movement. When a film project took him to the Loess Plateau in north-central China, during a massive project to restore that devastated ecosystem and the suffering human communities, John recognized the potential to regreen our deserts and engage people in the process. He has been leading the way ever since and has worked on many ecosystem restoration projects over the last 3 decades, making the most wonderful films along the way!

----------
The Soil Food Web School’s mission is to empower individuals and organizations to regenerate the soils in their communities. The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focussing on the soil biome. This can boost the productivity of farms, provide super-nutritious foods, protect and purify waterways, and reduce the effects of Climate Change. No background in farming or biology is required for our Foundation Courses. Classes are online & self-paced, and students are supported by highly-trained Soil Food Web School mentors.
Over the last four decades, Dr. Elaine Ingham has advanced our knowledge of the Soil Food Web. An internationally-recognized leader in soil microbiology, Dr. Ingham has collaborated with other scientists and with farmers around the world to further our understanding of how soil organisms work together and with plants. Dr. Ingham is an author of the USDA's Soil Biology Primer and a founder of the Soil Food Web School.

This gives me so much hope and such faith in the power of a community coming together. Humans can be pretty amazing eco-stewards when we put our minds to it!

[@johndliu2284]

Thanks to Dr. Jane Goodall for the Narration on this short film

[@youarenaturewellness]

Thank you for this renewed documentary Dr. Liu...you and I share a last name and heritage, and I'm grateful that I have arrived at this intersection in my life where I am working in this field with you. I work for the Beacon Food Forest in Seattle, and am bringing Black, Indigenous, and people of color back to the land in an urban landscape.

"Ecological function or dysfunction reflects the state of human consciousness" - John. D. Liu

[@brucedownunda7054]

Generalizations are just that

[@daleparks6781]

Mr Lui is spot on if only it's possible to see good people step up and observe how we are much better together to practice these positive efforts!

[@pluribus]

The wealth is in the soil

[@melissasullivan1658]

This was my favorite section of the panel discussion and I’m so happy we get to see a deep dive. This is incredible work, and incredibly inspiring. It makes me think of Nevada and just how much potential lies there, if we only had the funding/people power to take this on.

[@wanjalasio9800]

Always Inspiring

[@rogercarroll1663]

Amazing work. I live in the loess valley of the Missouri and the soil slopes are exactly the same.

[@Dude-iw2qw]

What I tell others is that our purpose here is as stewards of the Earth. All things reflect a sustainable progressive future from that perspective. One could call it progressive evolution, since it is abundantly obvious we are in a state of regressive evolution. Without Earth, we are gone. Without each other, we are none. There are so many good things in this video, but maybe my favorite takeaway is regarding sustainable economics and that is a great challenge to overcome since the entire world economy is based on profit derived from human selfish desires and the systemic ignorance of reality. I would also note that “sustainable economics” has largely been depicted in a negative light since it will steer wealth away from the 1%.

[@johannesswillery7855]

It is a huge challenge to just get humans to understand nature. Even those who advocate do not get it. Evidenced by those who think fire has a negative impact.

[@TheUltimateAcres]

What a great broadcast. #NewSubhere #Keepupthegreatwork great listen as I build my homestead.

[@markrodrigue9503]

This is great has any of this type approach have been made in low line timberland in swamp land edge like 40 miles north of Gulf of Mexico type swamps in Louisiana where dry land begins where people live in that effect

[@jamesrichey]

That was an amazingly beautiful video.

[@floriebrown2089]

Love it as it covered various part of the world most enjoyable details.

[@ernestama7098]

Great content

[@hhwippedcream]

Thank you for your work and for sharing your acquired wisdom.

Constipated natural cycles and dumping our carbon and biomass into giant clay tombs (dumps) where it can do nothing.

[@climateteacherjohnj7763]

Anyone here from the Southwest U.S. in the Sonoran or Mojave Desert bioregion? Drop me a note about how to get involved and what groups there are willing to do this work.

Love this so much!!!!!!!!!

[@jolandajolanda8572]

Wauw this is a beautiful project ❤

[@MsCaterific]

This was SO good!

[@joannamariebajoyo426]

Wish i could join as well as lead this caucus s well, im quite impressed restoring degraded areas

[@Geografija5do12]

The straw stabilisation is ingenious...

Because in Africa many farmers used fire to clean there lands

[@Adnancorner]

In todays world it is the corporations who are farming in giant farms not a common city dweller or a villager who is on a small holdings. dismantle large corporations and big business, degradation will reverse with human effort. You cannot put blame on common people who are just living and trying to survive with unimaginable taxation and monetary system. I dont know about china or any place what i have seen is big business taking over collective small holdings to create mono culture that is detrimental to the ecosystem.

[@mtgtool79]

Hello everyone! I know you can neutralize chloramines with liquid humic acid but didn't know if I could use powdered humic acid after I made a liquid out of it? Thanks!

What is effect of burning fire in farmer land

[@renaissancewomanfarm9175]

When you burn the vegetative growth , you effectively take away the home for all the bacteria and fungi that create the soil food web. You also steal any protection from wind erosion and your topsoil blows away. If that vegetation is chopped and used as mulch it holds moisture and it breaks down(composts) and all the nutrient that the plant took up when alive will be released back into the soil to feed both the soil life and also the next generation of plant life.

[@joannamariebajoyo426]

Burning the nutrients that might have caused thenext gen of plants to flourish

I'm curious if most (all?) of the failed civilizations are top-down, monothoughtist in character?
