Humans gone mad in his endeavors for progress
Wow!! This is incredibly impressive what you folks have done here. You are an inspiration for the whole island. Well done. :)
Looks great! Good to see the progress.
Just that you know , the french government is way opposite to any agroecological strategy, macron is the New Reagan/Thatcher neoliberal idéologue surfing on extreme right wave to be elected. The "make planet great again" guy has been reminded by justice that he is not doing anything against climate change.
please adjust the volume when recording we can always turn it down but are limited on how loud it can go
Thank you. If we let the indigenous people live normally, we would not have damaged our planet so much.
Debatable, especially when you consider just HOW MANY different living styles various indigenous peoples have had, sure there have been many groups of indigenous peoples all over the world that took better care of the environment then colonizers but that is far from all, a lot of it was from simply having a smaller population, and they didn’t know about microbes or botany An example of indigenous people ruining the environment can come from wasteful buffalo hunts or the extreme sprawls form the inca, they basically just destroyed the rainforest Brazilian style, but that was an ancient civilization 🤔 anyway it depends
Absolutely necessary action❤
I completely agree that soil is life therefore understanding how to preserve is paramount for human existence. Best educating factual information on soils
The real issue is restoring soil, rather than CO² in the air. We correct for soil, a lot of the issues go away. We can add rainwater harvesting with onsite materials to *key* areas to add more soil restoration potential. Shallower portions of hillsides, as well as flatlands can use this to slow, spread and sink water. This will raise watertables, reduce the effects of flooding, heatwaves, and droughts too. Contrary to some opinion, rainwater harvesting also increases water supply to those downhill. This is much of soil is currently impervious/too compacted to receive water. Also these small, frequent, tree-shaded catchments protect water from direct evaporation, as well stopping it from directly running off. It decreases the sudden rush of stormwater and gently releases it longer through the year. As well as planting trees to steeper portions, and protect water supply; many of these catchments can be used to directly accommodate trees as well, when we select for biome appropriateness. These catchments also reduce leaves and other organic detritus reaching streams and rivers where they would decompose and contribute to the release of methane and other greenhouse gases. Instead the leaves stay put and protect the soils from further evaporation. In valleys we can use something called restoration ag that uses the biome as a template to grow food producing trees, shrubs, and vines alternating with grasses/perennials/annuals. We use varieties that like the location and produce well, replace the ones that balk at growing there. Livestock can be used to manage the weeds, culls, pests, fertility, crop residues, etc while avoiding overgrazing. This method produces food of higher nutrition, improves soil, healthier livestock, etc.
Subscribed 4 minutes into this. Its shared on my twitter. I am throwing those U.N. screenshots on my instagram. I had heard this before but now I have the UN's own words. Worth rhe watch right there if I turnnit off right now, but😂 You had me at ALOE!!🌱🦠🐛🐝🐞
Excellent video - Thanks!
Hmmm, looking for intelligence way out there, little wonder, can't find much here on planet earth, especially in the Republican Party south of us.
Just skip ahead to 6:00 minute mark. I can’t believe the annoying preamble. It almost made me not watch this. But it’s actually really good!
Space is fake
I have a small 5 square meter area in my backyard in bkk, it was full of pure sand when I moved in the house. 9 months ago i started to put a 3 inches layer of compost and dead leaves on top of it then I planted seeds and i added worms in the soil. Today it full of life, i grow sweet potatoes, Chaya, lemon grass, basilic, minth, peanuts. It grows like crazy, the soil is full of life, i also see mushrooms, a large variety of insects. I learnt that in the proper conditions it doesn't take long to create a good soil, i also noticed that my plants grow much better in this kind of soil than in container.
That’s awesome to hear..congratulations!!! I will have to do the same here. Mostly sand here as well. I will do what you did to your soil. 🙏🏼
OMG NICE!! Want views? -> Promo sm!
Amazing knowledge thank you
This is super amazing. As I watched this video, I paused it and took notes. Pure knowledge from a legend. Thank you very much Prof. Philip
Very good!
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
That was cool
What is the limit to how much carbon can be put into topsoil ?
Brilliant video. Within the right community and viable land this is doable. I have some keen knowledge of agriculture that requires putting back into practice on a much wider scale. A fusion farmstead/cafe boutique of food from my loved locations. Love it! Thanks for sharing. Peace and Blissings

nice to come across this video....
Regenerative agriculture is the only way forward to restore our soils health and care for the plant, people and planet. Have some good videos on this too. have a look.
Everyone needs to see this video
Everyone just can't handle life without fabricating some kind of existential threat. Atmospheric carbon is not a problem now, nor will it be in the future. Relax, you fear mongers.
Crop plants maintain a "rhizosphere", or a concentrated area of microbial activity close to the root. The rhizosphere is the most active part of the soil ecosystem because it is where the most readily available food is, and where peak nutrient and water cycling occurs. Microbial food is exuded by crop roots to attract and feed microbes that in turn provide nutrients (and other compounds) to the plant at the root-soil interface where the plants can take them up. Since living roots provide the easiest source of food for soil microbes, growing long lived roots that feed the foundation species of the soil food web as much as possible during the growing season should be a goal of farmers seeking a productive and profitable crop. Roots associated with SWRT membranes have been shown to last all season long, contributing greatly to the improvement of soil quality because they have the nutrients and moisture they need.
Sir i think 4 years completed from ur video. Hence release the improvements video. Thnk You
Great video
deep plowing releases 50# of carbon into the atmosphere every square meter? That is 196k pounds of carbon per acre, if my math is right - that's 98 TONS OF CARBON. There is something wrong with this model. That means one tillage trip will turn organic soil totally into mineral soil. WRONG.
John, you appear to have made a significant error in your calculation. Plowed to a depth of 28 cm (11"), 162 grams of CO2 is released from each square meter in the 24 hours following the plowing. Now one acre is 4047 sq. meters which means 162 x 4047 = 655,614 grams or 656 kg of CO2 released from one acre which translates to 0.657 tonnes per acre or 0.723 U.S. tons of CO2/acre. To convert tons of CO2 to tons of carbon divide by 3.67 which yields finally 0.197 tons of carbon/ acre lost from the soil in the 24 hrs following plowing compared to only 0.013 tons of carbon/acre for the unplowed soil. When the CO2 release was measured over 21 day interval, the amount released from plowing was still 10 times larger than what was released from the unplowed soil. The amount of carbon released from the unplowed soil in one day was 0.013 tons of carbon/acre, so in 21 days that corresponds to 0.013 x 21 = 0.273 tons. Finally multiply that by 10 for the carbon released from the plowed portion gives 2.73 ton of carbon/acre in 21 days. Now typical degraded conventional agricultural soil has an organic content of about 1%. This translate to an amount of organic carbon in the top 28 cm of about 16 tons/acre so we are losing a significant amount of carbon each time we plow to a depth of 28 cm, but not losing all of it. In healthy soil the organic carbon can easily reach 4% levels which corresponds to about 55 tons of carbon/acre in the top 28 cm when you allow for the fact that the bulk density is lower in soil with a higher organic content. I hope this helps.
Genesis Biochar organic soil conditioner could be part of the solution. It is mostly carbon and can last for a thousand years.
Farmers have been screwed by big Ag. Tricked even.
I think the biggest problem with getting farmers to go no till will be weeds.
Hemp could save earth
Full stop, climate change has nothing to do with this. Commercial farming is ineffective. Easy solution, permaculture garden. Grow your own shit. Easy - finished.
Nice video
Absolutely the best treatise on soil and carbon management I have experienced. I learned so much and now understand much better soil biology and the goodness of composting. Thank you!
Insects and worms till the soil
I ain’t never seen a worn till a soil. Do you mean they munchie munch a bunch?
Armadillos and hogs till the soil
But how do i cultivate a terrain full of wheeds , let's say with wheat or corn? Just spray the seeds over the terrain covered with weeds?
Everyone on the planet must be aware of this knowledge! Thank you so much👏
Co2 caused climate change is a lie..
Very informative. An eye opener. Thanks.

We can start taking care of the 40 % of all food produced that are thrown away every year. Canada alone throw away $CAD 31 billions of food every year. It took me 3 years to manage cero food waste. It can be done. Best regards, from a UBC alumni.
It is not about the food: ruclips.net/video/vUAEa4ORAkY/видео.html - terra preta fertilizers cost billions, we can ELIMINATE them by using ancient trick!
We get rid of Our Playing God complex and the UN Advice and Look to Our Lord for what he has Done for man... We are the ones Responsible for this Mess here on Earth buy Growing Our GREED and Get Real with the balance between 1) What we Need vs 2) What we Want = What God Gave us in the first place and be excited for what That WAS.
God did a great system. We do better to imitate it instead of arrogantly fighting it. Love holistic farming and ranching methods such as restoration ag where food-producing, polycropped trees, vines and shrubs are planted between rows of perennials, grasses, and annuals. It's managed by livestock and produces food that is nutritionally superior compared to conventional agricultural methods. It builds soil, reduces farming costs, adds resiliency, produces more biomass, reduces other greenhouse gases, etc.
Utmost respect to this video creators..much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
thx for this !!
