Conversations From the Edge with Walter Jehne

Walter Jehne, a soil scientist from Australia, has given humanity an incredible gift. He has given us what Buckminster Fuller called the, "Operating Manual For Spaceship Earth." He distilled a lifetime of work into a succinct and easy-to-read article, Regenerate Earth, in which he describes how we can practically drawdown the annual deficit of 20 billion tonnes of carbon back into soils, to rehydrate Earth's biosphere and safely cool the climate. For example, if 50% of grazing lands were better managed, that could drawdown 9 billion tonnes of carbon per hectare per annum, which represents 45% of the annual carbon deficit. Additionally, ecological grazing strategies can reduce the amount of fuel for rangeland wildfires, potentially reducing the release of another 8 billion tonnes of carbon per hectare per annum. That's 17 billion tonnes of carbon right there, just from better grazing! Plus, he gives plenty of other practical ways to drawdown carbon. In June 2018, Walter gave a public talk in collaboration with 3LM in Penrith. We're releasing this video as our "gift from down under" to you this holiday season. *** 3LM equips farmers with the framework to regenerate soil and biodiversity, enabling health and prosperity now and into the future. #holisticmanagement If you want to learn more, sign up to our newsletter for the latest information on soil health and regenerative agriculture! https://linktr.ee/3LM_Network
