- Опубліковано 15 сер 2022
- From nourishing our foods to storing massive amounts of carbon, soil is teeming with diverse microbial life that could slow global warming. Climate change scientist Jane Zelikova calls for agricultural practices that protect Earth's soil by growing climate-adapted crops that don't mess with the microbes. "Soils are the literal foundation of life on this planet -- the reason that we eat and the climate solution just waiting to be unlocked," she says.

I got to know a lot from this talk about the impact of microbial carbon beneath us.
As a soil major , I love this Ted
Where do you study??
@@48kaboom university of the Free State in South Africa
Good to know! I’m sure that it’s very interesting study soil there.
@Drew Bussanmas it is
Nice clear speaking
Excellent way of explanation.
I love the earth
As a toddler I used to eat soil my mum said, it got to the point she couldn't let me out in the garden alone 🤮
You definitely have great, robust family roots. 😄👍
DIRT SOIL DARK RICH GOODNESS MY BELOVED
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend🙏🏽💙💫
Amen. YES
This is similar to another lecture I heard many years ago from the soil expert in the UK… He said that ploughing is bad, and puts all the microbes upside down and in the wrong place!
it also dramatically increases the growth of weeds
Wonderful research! we, humans still need tools for composting e.g like wood dust machine for wood dust, markets different soils require variety of rock powder, sand powder, in size or concentration. So everyone has information to understand situation and how to cope and contribute.
but if all current social news are politically oriented towards rhetorical group ideas ingratiatiin for social value, for views only. What is the most known information about individual action to reduce pricing to even zero on air purifier, promote composting tech, open individual to community soil research debates, teacher student projects to share inputs, evaluate conditions, understand circumstances, limitations and exposure, free from bias to objective value..
That's something even college graduates skips, parents don't have time, socially present individual are in entertainment distraction and relationship influences,so who is left to prioritize importance of human activity.. when collective bias imposes majority rules..
Which means that the current highlight on the most viewed videos that is popular by categories only makes the high spotlight topic ranks in attention (bias)and defines illusory social value..absolutely overshadowing individual value and collective sense.
Who is paying attention truly? As you get paid and get by... nothing else matters.. It's a systemic failure.. the system is not optimized or up-to-date to face current global universal manmade crisis!
Nature has it's own way of teaching humans big lessons.
@@shreeveda Let us hope that we all, everyone still are learning and understands Nature before we forget.

If I was a farmer I would want you to test your methods on my fields and pay me the difference on how well you do. You can keep any money you earn for 3 years. Then I get to use your method if it's better than mine.

Save soil
Yes, Mother Earth. then, Soil means so much to us. FOREVER.
Save soil !
Soil, not oil, is the big issue facing us.
Hello everyone, good viewing
Interesting and very worthy but nothing new
We should put a cap on farming and land use to help carbon stuff
Good idea.
Soils has potential power to stop global warming.
I wish using soils for our planet.
Most important TED talk ever.
yes we have to protect our feeding and our climate to get a better lifestyle.
wild edibles have better roots because they are wild and not pampered

Please more talks like this. Amazing subject and the rabbit hole goes Deep!
Wish she'd gone deeper into how we can save soils. Like what is the alternative to plowing and whether large industrial farming will still be able to continue. Or is she talking of only labour intensive farming and not machine intensive farming. Because no matter how much sense it makes to save soil, if it means that big companies will have to employ more people instead of machines, both the commercial farming companies and the agricultural equipment making companies and their lobbies will push back hard until most soil becomes no good for tilling at all and the world faces a major food crisis. Are scientists like her talking to these big companies? And what is their response?
I'm pretty sure crop rotation is the best way we have, but most places don't do it, as they just farm 1 thing and only that. Well, other than what she said of just leaving the soil alone.
@@ddpwe5269 monoculture crop rotation is not improving the soil multiple species crops with lot's of microbial fungie improve the soil yeald and water infiltration if you plow spray Roundup and plant one species microbial fungie disappear and if the microbes in your stomach are killed your killed and resting paddocks
Aquaponics
@@ddpwe5269 Thanks and she did also mention diversity of crops simultaneously grown. But i was looking for a bit more deep knowledge i guess because this is stuff that I've already heard and read from other sources. Since she is a soil scientist i would have liked the talk to be more specific, and avoided repeating some points instead. But i guess the talk was for newcomers to the topic, so i understand why it was a bit basic.
@@Ydnar1155 not sure it can be done on as large a scale as needed for the growing population. And also i feel lettuce and other limited kinds of plants that can be grown through aquaponics miss out on essential nutrients that can only be got from the thriving fungal and bacterial ecosystem of the soil. Or perhaps i don't know enough about aquaponics.
Excellent video. Thank you. Earth science was my favorite in HS. So grateful for your knowledge 🙏
My Body Your Body Soil Body! Save Soil!
Building new sustainable cities/ districts will aid in the fight against climate change IF older infrastructure elsewhere is reclaimed for greener projects/ spaces and (soil) agriculture.
One of the main challenges is turning long-term green investments into affordable and climate resilient communities.
Im trilled this got so many views in a short period of time . More people should learn about this as these are ideas worth sharing
Plants + Herbivores = good soil
+microbes there is soil And microbes in your gut microbes stop loosing microbes are the machine
Regenerative holistic farming can create the same soils in a few years instead hundreds
Please, join Sadghurus "Save Soil" project🙏 I missed the fact that soils around the globe are getting poorer and poorer in organic content, that we have to put back. Consequently our food contained less and less nutrients over the last decades. Together with increasing demands for (ground) water we risk terrible conflicts. Leaving the soil undisturbed as it is now in many regions will not work anymore, I'm afraid.
Yes --- already have done so!! It's amazing to see how rapidly this TRUTH is manifesting human thinking over getting a "jab" to save life. Thanks for your joining 😊 😘 😀!!
@@Noneofyourfckingbusiness could you please explain further?
@@Noneofyourfckingbusiness ok, with this kind of aggressive, destructive and nonsense commenting you should better look for other places to waste other people's time asking politely for details - however your style fits to your shown name it seems
@@Noneofyourfckingbusiness Does it (your view) matter to anyone? 🤣
Microbes are more important than rain and sun if you know what's good for you
If you add cows the soil regenerates much faster.
Cows are part of the solution to climate change : )
I recommend reading this book or searching the authors videos.
Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat: Why Well-Raised Meat Is Good for You and Good for the Planet.

Please! we need living soil and no chemistry on the field or we die befor you think
We will never get to ten billion people.
I hope not cause are planet can only upkeep max of 9billion.

I keep on getting $45,000 every week from a new platform in town which Elon musk recommends
After I got upto 300K trading with Mrs Valerie Anne Yarvin.I bought a new House and I'm now able to send my kids to a better school in the states thanks to Mrs Angela Cole Carr. When someone is straight forward with what he or she is doing people will always speak up for them.
How!! I know it’s possible because my sister gets $32,000 every week, I will be happy if you teach me how to go about it
Her good reputation already speaks for her last month i invested over $100,000 with her and I've already made over $250,000 profit.
How can I make a successful investment in stocks and profitable trades?? I’m thinking of Mrs Valerie 😏 and suggestions🤷
She's awesome, perfect and a genius. I've made up T0 $162,050 trading.
Soon we will leave the soil alone...and only add to it! Not what you are thinking, that we are all going to die. Rather we will be verticle farming, with more use of aquaponics. Times are changing, these people who have hoarded land will be slapped in the face with up.
I am hoarding land. When do I sell? Its over 20K per acre now. I want to jump ship just before the verticle farmers take over.
@@jeffmilroy9345 Bill Gates is buying.
I'm 54 and Even in the economic fluctuations, I'm so excited I've been earning $45,000 from my $10,000 investment every 10days.
HOW!! I know it's possible, My sister always get 4K every week, I would really appreciate if you show me how to go about it.
I've been making such amount since I started trading and investing through Emily Claire Services guidance and strategies,After i came across Emily Claire Services trading platform, My financial life has completely changed all thanks to Emily Claire Services awesome trading strategies!!!
I'm from Germany I used to take loan from the bank for surviver but after trading with expert Mrs Emily Claire Services she changed my financial status for real I'm now a creditor not a debtor anymore
Please how do I reach EMILY CLAIRE SERVICES?

Too bad we keep doubling down with animal products, we just haven't destroyed enough land yet. There are so many areas that need attention and not receiving it, even with experts telling us what's going on and where we're heading. Which is just weird, seeing we had such a booming industry. Then we decided it was good enough and slowed down progress to almost a halt.
Funny since being below ground level should be the least harmed by a few degrees warmer climate.
Until rain patterns change and deluge washouts gully out highly erodible land and the NRCS decrees it must be kept in pasture to avoid losing the whole field. Farmers don't mess with NRCS decrees.
For good farming, crop rotation has already been invented. Also, sometimes the field is given a year to rest. Food waste can also be sent to them for processing by bacteria. These processes have been going on for a long time. Another question is how to abandon the plow, weeds will take water and light from the right crops and make it difficult to harvest. Is it necessary at all, because the destroyed roots become food for bacteria, and destruction occurs by itself with the onset of winter in cold areas.
tilling kills mostly your fungi and bigger microbes & microarthropods + creates compaction, making bacteria dominant soils. Bacteria dominant soils create mostly nitrate as nitrogen , fungi dominated soils create ammonium as nitrogen.
(real biological) weeds only thrive in nitate soils and get outcompeted when in ammonium soils. Most field crops should be with a fungi:bacteria ratio above 0.5:1 to 1:1, which is a few sucessional stages higher then where weeds thrive. If you have the appropriate microbiology for your main crop, you should have no weed problem as it gets outcompeted.
But it takes more then no till to reach that. It's more complicated.
2022(G) “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore:
Ok lady if your going to save the soil , you'd better start looking into the Stratospheric Aerosol Injection program. This program is the cause of extreme UV rays which kills soil microphage and such.
How tight is your tinfoil hat? I think it's cutting off circulation.
@@trentjensen96 it's just science...
if you're willing to look...
It's not though. It's propaganda.
@@trentjensen96 propaganda ???
Lookup Ex CIA director John Brennan on S.A.I. program and you'll find a video of him telling reporters about the technology and how worried he was that it could be used as weather warfare. Then look up pros and cons of Stratospheric Aerosol Injection program and you'll find where they talked about higher uv rays and more cancer and sunburn. But hay if you hate being wrong or hate learning,,,,,,don't bother to do your due diligence on anything and live blindly in your own blissful existence.

I'm just waiting for the TED talk about watching paint dry it can't be far off judging by this earth shatteringly boring talk. 🙄
It is boring, eh? Except for the hunger and starvation thing it's hardly worth bothering about. Oh, and the fact that high quality farm land is selling at its highest level ever. Some bare farm land in Illinois sold for over 20K per acre (up about 12K per acre from a couple years ago.) How have your stock investments done in comparison this year?
