- Science for the Public February 08, 2017. David Montgomery, University of Washington, & Anne Bikle. The husband-wife authors discuss their outstanding book, "The Hidden Half of Nature" on how the microbial world sustains the planet and its life. They connect the dots, much of it from their experience in building a vibrant garden and restoring their own health. They explain how a healthy microbial community in the soil nourishes healthy plant life with little or no need for fertilizers or pesticides. The healthy plants, including produce, nourish the microbial community in our gut, which is very much linked to the immune system. And healthy soil is also essential for absorbing CO2, so by restoring our soil and changing from our destructive industrial agricultural practices, we also restore our planet's health and our own.
Hello Yvonne i watched this video and felt motivated....my friends saw this video and felt motivated....my neighbours saw this and were motivated...we rent a projector in a big field and my village people saw this and felt motivated....thank you so much for this video. may god bless you.
🙏🏽🙏🏽
What a fantastic talk about a very important topic. It amazes me to see not many views for a video that is so important to everybody.
I've planted a food forest so I don't have to keep disturbing the soil
i downloaded the e-book from The City of Los Angeles' public library (the best in the U.S.) while watching this video, as I am planning a series of after school gardening programs for the children who grow up in some of the most bleak urban neighborhoods of LA. They will eat up the connection between healthy soil and healthy gut. And, with a child's untainted sense of justice they'll see that the modern food system is false and simply shortsighted and wrong on multiple levels. I can't thank you enough for hosting the discussion and wish only there were more illustrations to avoid the "talking head" effect, which would help a greater range of viewers enjoy the presentation. A most articulate and obviously intelligent couple who seek to make the connections that traditional western science-with its arrogance-- has overlooked. Down with artificial fertilizers, they are killing the planet and the microbial life on which our entire civilization depends!
Absolutely fascinating watch, I think you've just given me the one 'mental' shove I need that no gp nor dietician could give to eat properly and get a grip on my health. You know it's almost like a parental feeling, I look after my children, I must also look after my microbiome and both in turn will look after me :), thankyou
Great talk, everything you said here is totally true
Excellent video! Thank you!
Hi, such a great talk. Thanks so much. As I work in organic pest control, could you elaborate bit more about the relationship of artificial fertilizer and decrease in natural defense system of a plant. This topic was a bit to fast. May be you have links which explain this a bit more. or pages in your books?
How do you keep soil alive with microbes in a bonsai soil mix? Your thoughts. I am adding Azos beneficial bacteria to mine.
Diet is a major factor in health. If people stay away from the chips, dairy, meat. They would be healthier. More greens, beans, seeds, onions, mushrooms, berries are a good start.
Wow amazing how it all comes together and works together almost like it was designed Buy a master intelligent designer. It’s even more amazing how such intelligent people can’t see that and think it all happened by chance,, just a mindless fortunate Long chain of coincidences . Other than that though a lot of good information
Nobody thinks it "just happened". It was the workable associations among literally trillions of interactions. I would think an intelligent designer would've made it similar. The thing is, it wasn't a single creator, nor was it intelligent. It was the uncoordinated attempts of every living thing that ever has existed.
In many cultures, nature is seen as a "being", fluidly changing, seeking adaptations, adjustments, and responsive to new conditions. What the modern human culture has decided is "intelligence" is an outcome of an unfortunately self-referential, self-indulgent, and blinkered view of the world. Intelligence is built into the complex being that nature is. Nature is always one step ahead of the arrogant ego-blinded human.
Not all humans are so negatively programmed and seduced. Indigenous people all around the world operate as though nature were a sacred gift to which our relationship is one of gratitude and reciprocity and stewardship. In western Europe nature is reduced to a "resource" used to amass wealth. And then their ships took their greed around the world to occupy other lands and take their nature. Hence the colonial history of the rape of the planet.
"...I don't know K and P come from rock..." If K and P didn't come from rocks, where would they have come from?
the US relies on Morocco to mine the phosphorus and we import it - as a limited supply.
And tv and holiwood never mentions anything about it
Ans they never will or should
You forgot the role of fungi
Agreed! It is a critical component of any healthy soil!
U r so right
You see this evolution of comprehension even in Jeff Lowenfels' work, going from Teaming with Microbes to Teaming with Fungi. Both are right, but emphasis on fungi is pretty critical.
Fungi have been cut back by agricultural use and are more relevant now in forested areas. They are a major component of soil microbial life, yes.
Were Eygup and Jordan always a dessert. or is it a by-product of humans neglect over years?
Lol very good content
