Beautiful. The burning of the rainforest has burdened me since I was a small child. Now, something real is occurring to allay the destruction. Much praise and thanks to Mike Hands. Subscribed and shared.
Sir, you have basic knowledge of nature. Your knowledge will always hailed and practiced according to geological situation of particular area and climatic conditions around tropical regions. Thank you for sharing valuable informations. 👌👌👌👌
We plant Inga to provide nitrogen for the coffee plants we are growing. I don't think alley farming is any good for growing coffee, and I'm not sure about growing cacao plants in alleys. But it's clear that Inga improves soil retention and slows down erosion, and it reduces the need for chemical fertilizers. We use urine as well for its fertilizing benefits. It also helps break down green waste. We cut and drop a lot of green matter.
Should be noted that only some types of trees can be coppiced, and that it is the typically side branches are removed (provided the main trunk doesn't get too tall). More polycropping with longer lived plants is better, as it means better soil tilth and soil fertility regeneration, loss lost to erosion. On shallower land they could use livestock to also manage pests, weeds, culls, crop residues, and fertility.
We're sorry to hear that, and yeah it's a global issue.. We think your idea is great. Reach out to Inga and connect with them on how to go about teaching and supporting people in your area! www.ingafoundation.org/
I "think" what I was referring to was that you were speaking of all the forests being cut down, and it being subsistence agriculture, which I saw as a contradiction in terms. Sorry, II believe I was thinking of "sustainable agriculture"@@naturio-tv.
This video is unacceptably simplified. Some of the imagery is incredibly misleading - the quotes and picture combos (e.g. at 4.46 mins) are sometimes not only not accurate (this is not a pathway that sees rainforests turning in to 'dry hard ground where nothing edible grows'), but unacceptably placing staggering amounts of blame on the people with the smallest footprints. Let's remember that the rainforests left on the planet are exactly in the areas held and managed by small scale and traditional subsistence farmers and Indigenous Peoples practicing shifting cultivation and low input agriculture. The irresponsibility of the comparison with a westerners drive, or Kayne Wests trips between Washington and Las Vegas is unsettling. Unsettling because let's remember that all capitalized citizens, western or not, are contributing far more to biodiversity loss, climate change and habitat conversion (e.g. see IPBES report, WWF, IUCN red list etc) than the subsistence farmers on the planet. Taking only a drive is a very serious misrepresentation - how about flights, consumerism, throw-away culture, waste, energy use, diets.... etc. Perhaps parts of this story are true to some degree in the case of Honduras, but the case-specific nature of this content should be reflected far more responsibly by those involved in the production, scripting and editing of this video.
Of course this is overly simplified, but there is no way to introduce a subject this complex and complicated subjects to someone who may know nothing really about them in under 20 minutes. I don't really see as blame but trying to show the desperate measures some people have to go to for the survival of their families. It is true that traditional subsistence farmers and Indigenous Peoples are skillful and highly undervalued for their traditional practices in cultivation and management of natural resources, it is also true that these people could cause unintended harm or be pushed to cause harm to their ecosystems, so it is important that these people have the agency, resources, and proper knowledge to be able to make informed decisions about their land and resources.
This is definitely not about villainising the locals. Poor education and support is not a choice they made, but a situation in which they've found themselves. This is about helping them and solving the situation, not putting the blame on them.

Well done, Mike. We need this programme in Mexico, where subsistence farming is still common.
Agree, we're very grateful! Reach out to them on their website, perhaps they're planning something?

Good point, thanks for the comment 🙌
This method are also happening in our local misamis oriental.I want to be teach people here that stop this method...

I will be sending this to many people here.

2:51 mins in, I don't know what means... it doesn't make sense?
Sorry can you explain further what you're asking about? Thanks for your comment!

Foreigners villainising “backward locals” how authentically South American
Slash/Burn farming degrading soils, causing erosion, ecosystem loss, species extinction, and keeping locals poor and hungry is definitely "backward".
This is definitely not about villainising the locals. Poor education and support is not a choice they made, but a situation in which they've found themselves. This is about helping them and solving the situation, not putting the blame on them.
