NutriSoil a New Agriculture, Walter Jehne presentation

[@olenagirich1884]

Yes, THIS should be a separate course taught to all high-school students. And in universities.

Brilliant. Share this video with Extinction Rebellion folks. This is the solution not politics.

Hi Simply Human, I am an Extinction Rebellion folk and a holistic grazing and no till gardening exponent. The two are not mutually exclusive, in fact most Extinction Rebellion folk seem to be engaged somewhat around soil health. We don't think that we can get the changes we need without dramatic changes in the system. We need targets that will actually matter. The 10 years that Walter mentions rather than the 30 of much legislation would be a good start. I would love to see farmers supported in transitioning to regenerative agriculture and I can see that change being arrived at by a citizens assembly that isn't locked in to distorted popularity contests.

I am a dairy & veg farmer aligned with XR----we need 2 kinds of direct non-violent action: soil building and movement building.

Awakening! Brilliant! Thank You, Blessings!!!

If you liked this, you'll probably also like Jehne on the soil carbon sponge and its importance for climate change. He makes the case that clearing the land causes global warming, not global warming causes deserts. I'm convinced. Not sure about the IPCC (advisors to governments) though. Their emphasis is on fossil fuels, also important but nowhere near as important as managing hydrological cycles dependent on high-carbon soils. Man has to expect some big changes after clearing vegetation from so much of the planet. Jehne's advise is timely and crucial.

Thank you Walter. Your soil density figures explain the disaster that is currently occurring on my property. Continual emergence of bead rock up through the soil indicates that over the past 70 years the surface of my soil has been lowered by 20 cm. It is not being eroded by wind or water, it is simply shrinking. This reduction in volume equates to a staggering 2000 cubic meters of soil per ha. Obviously due to to rising soil densities, associated Eucalypt trees have already lost their tap roots and many now have their lateral feeding roots precariously perched on top of the soil. I understand that the cause of tree dieback is an unresolved issue around the world. Could this be the result of an unperceived increase in soil density?

Beautiful. And... what do we farmers do? I can see that strategies such as No-Dig farming, and a shift towards perennial crops would help. Yet it would be nice to see what suggestions are there if we want to integrate agriculture with soil regeneration at a larger scale.

Savoury institute!

Read Gabe Brown’s book ‘Dirt to Soil”

There's a 18,000 ha farm in Western Australia, farming arid land with no chemical inputs. Relying only on soil microbes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXOqqoOqjpd9j9k

Herds of grazing animals to add manure, composting of wastes, cover crops, perennials, applying permaculture to agriculture. Not hard, just subtle.

[@mickaelg1941]

merci ! thank you !

[@nl4064]

incredible video and what a very importamt message to those in power this man needs to be incuded in future ipcc if we have a future

[@mceliniak]

Ted, he shuold be included, and no, he won't be. IPCC is about money and power, not climate.

[@kvpvswamy3011]

All farmers must listen and digest the contents he says and try to implement the ideas. Its not an easy task. The world is running behind the money and more on money becoming moreon.

[@agriratna1670]

very nice sir..Thank you sir

Please overlook my typing error that occurs below. "Bead rock" should be bedrock. It extends to a commercial quarry two kilometers from my property where it is extracted for road metal.

Roots can go down ten metres!
