Ethiopians are hard working people and it is great to see them pull themselves out of generations of agriculture disasters. Now they are making a positive contribution to the land to receive life giving water. Aloha from Hawaiʻi.
Wonderful! As a geologist, I can tell you, that the loess in China is MUCH easier to work with hand tools than the rocky slopes in Ethiopia. I admire both peoples for doing something instead of talking,
The principals of regenerative agriculture described at advancingecoag.com build soil very rapidly, make crops resistant to pests and disease as well as more weather resilient, and boost plant health and nutritional content, all while increasing profitability.
How about the energy question? I suppose that ecological electricity is still a problem. Agrophotovoltaik could help, developped in Germany, look here, please www.ise.fraunhofer.de/en/key-topics/integrated-photovoltaics/agrivoltaics.html
I really hate to quote the bible but wasn't there a bit about "If you give a man a fish you will feed him for a day but if you teach a man to fish you will feed him for a lifetime."
This is the way to fight dessertification! And should be an example for other areas with the same problems. Restoring the ecosystem and environement leds to more food production and less poverty!
If they add as many people as they can then the next famine is already looming on the horizon. The population of Ethiopia is still exploding. They are still in the same cycle of good years and environment destroying famines.
Instead of pointing fingers of blame at global warming these people have made a change by changing land management. Even with global warming and global climate change they are succeeding.
I am from the Caribbean Trinidad and Tobago.we are a twin inland nation. it brings me great joy to see the development that is taking place in Ethiopia i am so happy for the people. I pray that there will always be among people, and that the Government of Ethiopia will do their best to help the people.. May God bless you Ethiopia.
I hope these efforts are still going strong. It's always heartening to see people digging in (no pun intended) to fix their problems locally. My admiration to all the citizens of Ethiopia who put their effort into making their home a better place.

Praise God? No. Praise the people who did the hard work for they are the ones who did the work that changed everything. Praise the people who got the job done. The place ie better for their action. Prayer = wishing. Action = doing something and fixing the problem. Wishing solves nothing. Action solves the problem. Great work guys.
@@zavatone Lol where is it mentioned that just cause you asked God you get something. Of course you work. Shit don't happen just came cause you ask but you also have to work. However, all the opportunities and the outcome is because of you A) your hard work and B) because of your faith, prayer and having hope for a better future .
8:48 "Land divided into four sections", reminds me of a RUclips video that I watched, with Native Hawaiians dividing the land in a similar way; different than here since they lived close to an ocean beach. Top, steep, with rain clouds and fog, is sacred, untouched. 2nd section below it, slightly less steep, is kept as forest minimal harvested for wood and seeds but not enough to wear away the slope.3rd is planted tree orchards, bottom is irrigated with traditional root crops, with understanding that water leaving a field must be as clean as when it entered. 4th is the village, using the bay as a giant fish pond with rock wall with gap, and nutrients recharged every high and low tide. In short, even across continents and people who've never met, converge on a similar ecological wisdom.
BrightLight covid 19 is stupid America’s problem since they have a problem with just wearing a simple mask and social distancing. And this video was made before corona was even a thing.
@@hiroshia6574 Amazing, he calls himself or herself "BrightLight" and finds something negative in this incredibly positive video. Whatever your political leanings are this is a fantastic story of a people trying to survive and doing it by back-braking work. God bless them.
All those people working together with hand tools is a beautiful thing! Really great footage of the farmers facing today's most important issues head on!
salute to the Ethiopians. You guys are the models of conservation. A small step will ripple throughout every corner of the Earth. If everyone sees your initiative and perseverance, sooner the Earth's future will be greener again...
Helping 30 million people, 3/4the population of California! Both lands with a history of drought, and both learning lessons that can be taught, so the future is sustainably prospering.
As soon as the grasslands recover (2-3 years) the ruminants need to be put back on it. Carefully managed rotational grazing adds nutrients to the soil -it doesn't deplete them.
No, it doesn't. Grass gets the nutrients it needs by extracting them out of the soil. Grazing animals then get the nutrients they need by extracting them out of the grass they eat. The animals are then slaughtered, and their carcasses (which contain the nutrients they extracted from the grass) are removed from the area.
You're oversimplifying it, Dave. Grazers do extract nutrients, but they also return them through manure, which feeds the soil biology that plants need to survive. Look up rotational grazing and you'll see what I mean, or watch this TED talk: www.ted.com/talks/allan_savory_how_to_green_the_world_s_deserts_and_reverse_climate_change
I've already seen it. A bovine carcass is made out of nutrients extracted from the soil. When the carcass is removed, so are the nutrients. Do you understand?
Dave, that's not what I'm talking about. The animals are not left on any particular piece of land, they are grazed through it. The benefits occur as the animals move across the land. Perhaps you could take a minute to watch that TED Talk or read up on rotational grazing instead of repeating the same point?
I've already explained that I have already seen the talk. You said: "Carefully managed rotational grazing adds nutrients to the soil" Oh really? Care to explain WHERE THOSE NUTRIENTS COME FROM? Do the cows just magically pull nutrients out of thin air? Are you stupid? Cattle EXTRACT nutrients from the soil, that's HOW THEY GROW THEIR BODIES. Then we remove their bodies from the environment, thereby removing the nutrients. Seriously dude, what part of that don't you understand?
So uplifting to see a people working their way up from the depths of famine and degradation. Heartiest congratulations to Ethiopia, long may you continue to prosper!
Love and congratulations from Kerala, India. We love you Ethiopians. Ethiopia is the ancestral home of all of humanity. We are really happy to see your progress. Wish you a great prosperity, happiness and peace!
It is wonderful to see people understand how important tree to human. The best way to help people get better life is to give them knowledge and skill to overcome their problems.
Respected sir. I thank all your team for planning well. Sir, I have few suggestions, since Ethiopia gets very heavy rain fall and sometimes plantation gets washed away. My suggestions is you look for tree based plantation. You take tur dal also called as arhar ka dal in India. Very less care is needed. Our PM have done lots of research on this plant. This will slove protien problem of country. From one plant you get lots of production. Second tree is apple tree. Yes we have unique quality apple tree giving apple in hot summer . For all the ponds please look for plants called as a shinghdha. This grow only inside pond and seeds can be dried and used when ever needed. You do the platation of anjir, you can dry and sell as dry fruits. Please visit Mauritius. The Ethiopia atmosphere is same like Mauritius, You bring phiryaphe ....bread fruits this one tree can feed all village. We need to boil the fruit . You also bring carosole, this fruit is larger in size and have sweet as well as shower variety. You visit the place called as vascos, they vegetables in running rivers called as creso. They eat as salad. They turn and block the river water for plantation. At various places you adopt different trees. In Mauritius people eat chu.chu and pumpkin leaves this plants doesn't need to much care. Please check how they eat . My English is not good. Namh shivay. Respected sir. I am giving you one recipe for lemon pickle, first you remove the skin on lemon by grading on stone block, than wash and dry for one day thanyou need to add pure lemon juice to lemon add salt. Visit some site of lemon pickle without spices in India. In India we called as nimbu ka achar. Keep in sun for fifteen days. This pickle remain for one year or more year. Please make Rodrick Island in Mauritius. Many people sell lemon pickle to tourists. Africans are expert in making lemon pickle . Lemon also can create good sources of income. People can eat lemon pickle with steam pumpkin leaves. In Korea people eat steamed pumpkin leaves. You can eat with nomed bread. Please visit India Maharashtra and look for mayalu ka bhaji . We have green as well as red colour leaves. We can steam it and eat with lemon pickle or cook with arahar dal , this plants is very resilient, don't need to look after too much. Another vegetables is same, we also called as Papdi in marathi. When this same is young you can steam and eat with lemon pickle, plants when dry give very nice seeds , people can boil and eat. In the mountains pepper, zinger and turmeric grows very well. You are near Europe you can export it. The bread fruits friyape have very good demand in Europe. Mauritius export it to Europe. Very costly. In your country people like Banana, I have visited Fiji Island they've one variety banana is around triple size. I have not tested it. Please look for this Banana plant. Fiji Island also have one sower shrub, which they add in vegetables. I have watched few vedio of oil seeds plants in the mountains areas of China and Cambodia . I am not sure but please try to do platation in top of mountain. This is not palm tree but another variety. Each family must produce something to export. Namh shivay.
All other countries should take a great lesson from this proud nation. Ethiopia's making remarkable works in tackling our earth's threat, the global warming; Ethiopia has planted more than 350 million trees in a day, setting a new world record. & for the westerns, forget your nuclear arsenals & get into this kind of competitions for the good of us all. Thank you Ethiopia for not being selfish & caring for our lungs. And even Egypt should also fund this big work for the sustainability of its dam than its weightless tumult and hubbub. Vivo for Ethiopia.
This is great, although in the recovered areas they should add rotational grazing. Instead of harvesting and transporting the grass, bring the cows to one area and let them graze it down, then move them to a new area. They fertilize and work the soil as they go, then the grasses are allowed to recover with the addition of fertilizer (manure and urine). How long each area is grazed and how often it can be re-grazed depends on the region. It varies from one day a year to a few days every month. You eliminate labor of harvesting and transporting, and the cows are healthier because the diseases and parasites in their manure die out before they return to that area.
yeah. i was wondering why the Ethiopians weren't doing rotational grazing. i figured it would be easier and more efficient. along with fertilizing the soil. glad to see someone else was thinking the same way.
Waww this is the way how to defend and bit the desert all over. God bless to this hard workers and ther lands and to all others who they're woking hard to cheng the climate and agriculture changes.
What a wonderful inspiring video...there is hope for our world. I hope that The developing world will lead the 'first world' out of the terrible mess they have made. We need to do this work in Australia as too many people misplace' value' on money and consumerism....while our land suffers.
You’ve got to admire the people for helping the earth to recuperate and the people trying to green our deserts let this be a start to help the earth to recover because we’ve only got one planet and no where else to go so let’s all help👍👍❤️.
I love most of the actions taken here, but while cutting the grass manually might be better than uncontrolled overgrazing, it might be worth looking into holistic grazing management as developped by the ecologist Allan Savory, which would improve the health of the grazing areas much more. Those methods have been used for example in Australia with great effect.
Without the participation of thousands upon thousands of locals in every area, there would be no success, regardless of the methods used. When numbers of people turn out for the benefit of all to accomplish tasks of this magnitude, then we see real changes. In the modern world, we see big problems that equal big costs to pay someone, and projects are shelved or kicked down the road due to lack of funds or unpopular projects. I would like to see a world where, if something really big needs doing, sheer numbers of people trained to the project offer their time and effort to get it done. Planting forests, planting desert, cleaning up areas of horrific pollution, restoring/cleaning lakes and ponds, planting crops, etc. We are so used to taking without giving back. That has never worked, and we are suffering the consequences. Good video.
I just hope that all those feudal workers that make it all happen are treated right and not only benefit now, but maintain rights to the land they gave their health and lives to rescue.
This is so inspiring. Congratulations to the Ethiopian people. Australia, a first world country, is in the grip of drought most of the time now but we do get rain, usually as a huge storm in the farming areas. I've been saying for years that we have to pool and resoak the soil. . Why aren't our farmers and experts doing simple but effective measure like you? What you have done with so little is fantastic. The earth just needs some help to recover, help from everyone. I'm so glad Ethiopia is recovering.
I don’t think you’ve been keeping up about world news. All this economic and social development has been dragged back 30 years following the genocidal war launched against the people of Tigray by the regime which took power 3 years ago.
Ethiopians are hard working people and it is great to see them pull themselves out of generations of agriculture disasters. Now they are making a positive contribution to the land to receive life giving water. Aloha from Hawaiʻi.

Instead of harvesting and transporting the grass, bring the cows to one area and let them graze it down, then move them to a new area. They fertilize and work the soil as they go, then the grasses are allowed to recover with the addition of fertilizer (manure and urine). How long each area is grazed and how often it can be re-grazed depends on the region. It varies from one day a year to a few days every month. You eliminate labor of harvesting and transporting, and the cows are healthier because the diseases and parasites in their manure die out before they return to that area.
yeah. i was wondering why the Ethiopians weren't doing rotational grazing. i figured it would be easier and more efficient. along with fertilizing the soil. glad to see someone else was thinking the same way.
I saw an interesting documentary on how grass fields, plains etc need grazing animals to thrive.
Congratulations to the people of Ethiopia for transforming the land from desertification to a sustainable increase of life. Well done!
Great to hear that, next step reducing cutting down wood with free solar panels and small scale wind turbines
If they made solar cookers from recycled materials that would be a much lower cost solution than large solar panels.
Amazing work - current and future generations should give all involved praise and gratitude - #SowTheSeeds
It must be fantastic to work the land with your community. These articles are common on the net and they really lift the spirit.
Thank you for sharing this interesting documentary clip.
It's so impressive to see those huge community gatherings and everyone working together. So awesome! It's great to know the country is thriving:)
Yeah right, loads of useless children without any perspectives.. 👀😴😴
Maybe not thriving, but improving
Waww this is the way how to defend and bit the desert all over. God bless to this hard workers and ther lands and to all others who they're woking hard to cheng the climate and agriculture changes.
6:15 really wowed me!!!!!!
Fantastic. So wonderful for the people and the environment
What a wonderful inspiring video...there is hope for our world. I hope that The developing world will lead the 'first world' out of the terrible mess they have made. We need to do this work in Australia as too many people misplace' value' on money and consumerism....while our land suffers.
May you be so blessed. Wise people
hard working combo with knowledge is the key
You’ve got to admire the people for helping the earth to recuperate and the people trying to green our deserts let this be a start to help the earth to recover because we’ve only got one planet and no where else to go so let’s all help👍👍❤️.
Congratulations to all the officials and citizens of Ethiopia who achieved this wonderful progess in water and land management practices
I love most of the actions taken here, but while cutting the grass manually might be better than uncontrolled overgrazing, it might be worth looking into holistic grazing management as developped by the ecologist Allan Savory, which would improve the health of the grazing areas much more. Those methods have been used for example in Australia with great effect.
Good to see Ethiopia find right ways to solving problems, respect hard-work Ethiopian. Bless Ethiopia, love from Chinese.
Without the participation of thousands upon thousands of locals in every area, there would be no success, regardless of the methods used. When numbers of people turn out for the benefit of all to accomplish tasks of this magnitude, then we see real changes. In the modern world, we see big problems that equal big costs to pay someone, and projects are shelved or kicked down the road due to lack of funds or unpopular projects. I would like to see a world where, if something really big needs doing, sheer numbers of people trained to the project offer their time and effort to get it done. Planting forests, planting desert, cleaning up areas of horrific pollution, restoring/cleaning lakes and ponds, planting crops, etc. We are so used to taking without giving back. That has never worked, and we are suffering the consequences. Good video.
I just hope that all those feudal workers that make it all happen are treated right and not only benefit now, but maintain rights to the land they gave their health and lives to rescue.
Thank you for this inspiring video
this is so beautiful and inspiring!! Loved the efforts of the locals!! Education is the key to success.
This made me really happy. I hope this becomes the norm for farming practices globally.
Great effort💐💐🙏
This is so inspiring. Congratulations to the Ethiopian people. Australia, a first world country, is in the grip of drought most of the time now but we do get rain, usually as a huge storm in the farming areas. I've been saying for years that we have to pool and resoak the soil. . Why aren't our farmers and experts doing simple but effective measure like you? What you have done with so little is fantastic. The earth just needs some help to recover, help from everyone. I'm so glad Ethiopia is recovering.
That is fantastic! Excellent work.
Pure music! Bravo!!
Finally something positive in the world 🥰
This is wonderful and exciting for the people of Ethiopia.
I don’t think you’ve been keeping up about world news. All this economic and social development has been dragged back 30 years following the genocidal war launched against the people of Tigray by the regime which took power 3 years ago.
@@konnen4518 Thanks for the update
@@konnen4518 tplf started the war and now the ppl of tigry are paying the price for tplf's evil deeds. Don't blame the government.
I love listening to these words of life
Very inspiring and I love the kind set of the Ethopian people. Well done!!!
We need subtitled translations of what's being said. Great video however. We'll done Ethiopia. I always knew you could achieve success.
An incredible effort by all those planning and working. The results are really something to be proud of.
If you are looking for away to help the environment you can use ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees
Just keep the good work ,this is the only path leeding to prosperity,with God blessing to you all
