Amazing Agriculture

My stellar Grammi sent me this article recently, knowing how much I love good news.  This article reports on a pioneering regenerative agriculture method  for farmers in rainforest habitats, replacing slash and burn with alley cropping, using a very special tree, the Inga.  Fifteen countries have some farmers using this method, all have been able to grow food, cash crops, and even started reforestation.

Need to Grow, and Project Drawdown

In the documentary, Need to Grow, a renewable energy project, known as a green powerhouse, makes a potent  byproduct to sustain regenerative agriculture, biochar.  I wondered though that the powerhouse was reliant on waste from logging operation-  if in an age where deforestation must be halted, was there an alternative? Then, when looking through the Project Drawdown website, noted a connection by following the 'Engineered Sinks' tab, to 'Biochar', and seeing a claim that this byproduct has been made using all kinds of natural waste, intriguing.

Project Drawdown also deserves a good study by all of the people on the planet, immense carbon solution database.

Ambitious, yet Doable

This is the most comprehensive site to understand the 30x30 global conservation plan. As the US heads it's own 30x30 plan, the UN gets ready for a worldwide change in human economy, business, and lifestyle change, that replaces actions that destroy nature with actions that protect nature. The best part about this political globalized movement is the potential for all human societies to begin to build "nature positive" ways of life (not just doing no harm, but in fact enhancing ecology through participation).
