@Pedro Martins João How can either, elimination of poverty or the growing numbers of billionaires "insult the Chinese"? It's proof that China has a free economy and a caring govt. Win win. Many scholars recognise China is both developed and developing. Its the speed of their achievements and their diligence that create this gap, not forgetting China has 1.4 billion people.

I'm just a gardener in Georgia. I used to haul around trees to plant in huge heavy buckets of soil but learned, when I bought a lot of them from University of GA trained "Master Gardeners" volunteers, that they could be held in water barrels with just roots for up to a week while you dug holes to plant them in. I still had to loosen the soils back a good ways around the stem but did not have excavate the soils for the now non-existent bucket. It just needed to be well loosened, water and a banana peel or two for calcium, poured into the bottom and soil boot compressed around the trunk to hold the tree in place. Sometimes taller trees need three support cables to insure the wind does not topple them until the roots have grown for a while. This is about one third of the work I used to do to plant a tree. I could also haul home 20 or so trees in one sedan car rather than, at most, three. When they plant pine trees by the acre the planters just use's a pointed pole to make the hole, puts in the seedling and stomps the soils tight around the seedling. Three plant at the rate of one or two per minute. If 10% die, so what. This is not landscaping for beauty.

The World Bank & other international development funding organizations should provide the financial support, land rehabilitation & agricultural ecology expertise to targeted areas that need to be restored. The UN Environment & Development team should be proactive in seeking out such damaged areas in poor countries. When people succeed in transforming their own lives through sustainable farming practices, they would pass on their knowledge & experiences to the next generations. They have learned the hard lesson - Food security comes only with reliable safe water supply & land that can sustain vegetation & life.

One question i have is how well did this help bees in the area or did they try to bring some bees back in? Its just ive heard they were wiped out. People dont realize that permaculture is almost like the "true" agricultural revolution and also people can realize our role as organisms on this planet doesn't have to be all about degradation of the land. The earth looked like mars before they began this reconstruction. That is a significant thing to me. Life is supposed to be a positive feedback loop in all things and when you get out of that positive feedback loop, you loose everything. I think its good to search out these positive feedback loops for the environment and where we humans can be a positive force on the environment. Because we have messed up so much I think its not just important that we all have a smaller foot print as it is for us to all actively regenerate damage and break negative loops. Permaculture is the future and i have soo much hope in this lesson being learned. This only cost 500,000,000 which is a tiny percentage of chinas GDP. If they did this everywhere on their land that they could they could have it done in a few years. At what point will it pay for itself? It already has by preventing the damage of floods and drought. China can be a rich people with healthy children that supplement their environment rather than detract it. China can be a model of how the world will feed itself when population reaches crazy levels. I hope they eat well for thousands of years and teach the rest of the world of indrustrial agriculture that you can do this on a large scale without pesticides and artificial fertilizers while feeding EVERYONE and giving everyone something productive and beautiful to do with their lives. I am so happy for these people. In many many many ways i envy these farmers. Also, I hope to see more flowers there in the future. Just because flowers.

the population of bees has been declining, we know why, it's because of pesticides, we even know which pesticides. The criminals are companies like monsanto. Why are these companies not stopped immediately, because they produce fake publications, pay academics to lie about the effects of their biocide chemicals, they pay for lobby, they have paid legislators to make laws that can let them hide the list of chemical they use, that way scientists who defend nature cannot even do counter-expertise and expose the lies. they are simply evil as evil can get but the problem is the system and the laws have failed to terminate such enterprises because the society is a wild capitalism where profit trumps everything including the destruction of nature and the health of people and animals like bees.

Permaculture is outdated term and incomplete concept. NOw its sustainable farming and sustainable land use practices/managmeent, YOur focus on bees is rather strange. If no bees and other insects there would be no pollination/fertilization and no grass, flowers and other vegetation. We see plenty of the latter -- growing vibrantly in the video. SO pretty obvious there are no shortage of insects including bees

Much has been learned since. Later a large part of the Green Wall had an ecological collapse because they planned one type of three most places. Not the farmers, of course. It was too unstable because they did not build in enough tree diversity to survive bad times. Where his happen they loss ten to twenty years of progress. They just need to go back in with 10 or more types of trees so that those types that survive bad times can protect the soil while those hard hit recover. They showed to potential for all land reclamation and this biodiversity lesson learned helps us all do better on future projects no going on.

Loess is a kind of soil that's close to ideal; add organic matter and stand back! That, decent annual rainfall, and cultivable low spots, made this an easier area to revive than most. But it IS impressive.

@ivanjelenic56276 жыл бұрын
actually, scientific research in most countries is ridiculously low budget. increasing it would yield much more benefits. it's just the public perception that it's useless and a waste of money, while the reality is actually the opposite. if you feel different, you can always say no to modern medicine, tech, etc., but we both know that not going to happen. also, this project benefited from countless researches before it on the environment, ecosystems, water, etc., and they had to do their own research too, so your disdain for research is misplaced. it would be better to complain about military budgets, bad education/healthcare system, and lots of others, which eat up an infinitely greater amount of money than research.
@peterpremingertrichter62746 жыл бұрын
True. A point for you regarding military budgets(with which I also don´t agree). I probably did not express myself adequately since I am certainly not against research as such nor do I disdain it so long as there is light after the tunnel. But what can be said about money spent on, for example, "discovering" that people who take a lot of selfies are narcissists? More than a nickel was spent on that. I think that I still must have that article somewhere and if I find it I would be glad to post it. And there are other such examples.
@ivanjelenic56276 жыл бұрын
I see your point, but I kinda disagree. Research like that is built on other research, and is used by researches after it. it's like bricks in a castle, a brick by itself is useless, but is at least a bit important for the whole - you can remove a few, but if you remove too many (even less important bricks), a section of the castle will fall down. newer research stands on and makes use of older research (or parts of it), it also gives us a better understanding of the human mind. you never know what you might need later on, and this helps understand new cultural phenomenons, so it's probably interesting and useful to someone. another thing is that articles like this have probably some new graduate students working on them, and is a good training for future articles they will write - those will be more impactful and important. it's difficult to always think of and write 100% important research, sometimes it's hard to assess how important it is, so you just do it and move on. it's somewhat similar to how people want to remove non-basic math from schools because it's "useless", while in reality it's only useless for some people, and is a good brain training for everyone since you benefit from it even if you don't directly use it (better logic and thinking processes). in part, I understand and agree with you, but as you can see, it's not so simple. it is harder to get money for research on less important and obscure things, so in general everyone agrees with you, but the details on what to allow and fund is decided by the specific funds/government agencies/councils, so you should probably complain about them, not directly about the scientist that do them. there must be at least some importance to these kinds of research, otherwise the people that allow and fund them would not allow it - the researchers probably apply for funding grants to the institutions that support that kind of research and want to increase understanding in that area, they would get rejected by other funding sources. funding for new research projects gets rejected all the time, it's not like they are accepted willy-nilly. but it's probably true that more wealthy nations have more leeway for non-critical research. another thing is that people try to find their place, some are attracted by mainstream research, but some like to avoid it because there's already too much going on there and they will not have any impact, so they move to the sides, and then research like this happens.

Wikipédia (pour moi) : Le lœss est formé principalement de silice (quartz détritique) et de carbonate de calcium (Ca CO3). Il contient, en proportion moindre, des feldspaths, de la biotite (mica) (deux minéraux qui, avec le quartz, entrent dans la composition des sables) et des argiles, souvent de la kaolinite (ces argiles pouvant être agglomérées et former des grains de limon fin). Le loess typique est une roche meuble limoneuse, homogène, finement poreuse, de couleur jaunâtre à brunâtre, souvent calcaire (10 à 30 % de CaC03). La composition granulométrique d'un loess typique correspond à du sable fin pour 10 %, du limon pour 75 % (essentiellement du limon grossier) et 15 % d’argile. Les sables éoliens de couverture sont limono-sableux avec une dominante de sable fin (voir sédimentologie).
