Restoring Watersheds with Andrew Millison & John D. Liu

For any large-scale land restoration project to be successful, it needs to be placed within the context of the water flow and soil distribution of the watershed.
✅ Learn about our regenerative soil and ecosystem courses 👉 promo.soilfoodweb.com
Nature's land divisions are the ridges, hills and mountains that delineate the drainage basins known as watersheds. This presentation will look at examples of successful large-scale projects from around the world and how they interact with their watersheds.
Andrew will be joined by John D. Liu for the live audience question and answer session.

The Soil Food Web School’s mission is to empower individuals and organizations to regenerate the soils in their communities. The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focussing on the soil biome. This can boost the productivity of farms, provide super-nutritious foods, protect and purify waterways, and reduce the effects of Climate Change. No background in farming or biology is required for our Foundation Courses. Classes are online & self-paced, and students are supported by highly-trained Soil Food Web School mentors.
Over the last four decades, Dr. Elaine Ingham has advanced our knowledge of the Soil Food Web. An internationally-recognized leader in soil microbiology, Dr. Ingham has collaborated with other scientists and with farmers around the world to further our understanding of how soil organisms work together and with plants. Dr. Ingham is an author of the USDA's Soil Biology Primer and a founder of the Soil Food Web School.

Ce qui est aussi important en agriculture syntropique, c'est qu'on plante avec une très grande densité des végétaux qui vint se succéder et donc pousser les uns à la suite des autres.
Cela permet de nourrir le sol avec la matière organique des plantes qui sont taillées (perturbation).

Omg, I live in Pacific City, I didn't even know yall were in oregon !!

Think it's larger number and variety of poisonous snakes in these areas that drives the demilume systems as opposed to swales. Bare ground is easier to spot snakes and walk thru than planted ground. It's why the villages have bare ground...

[@lamdao1242]

My daily walk takes me through a dense tropical jungle on a paved pathway. I’ve seen cobras and other snakes.
So just having a clear pathway is enough to help protect yourself. We don’t have to clear everything.

I never said they "clear everything."

Are swales becoming less favored or obsolete?

[@cobococreek1224]

Personally I utilize swales and love them. Some are more like micro ponds, some merely a garden aisle, and others help form access roads across the hilly land. Some hold water all the time, others fill up after rain for days or weeks but will dry out. I see mostly advantages to swales - I'm on 5° to 18° slopes. I also have incorporated single shank ripping on contour in areas where annual gardening and tree saplings happen, and I like the results. I'm lucky to have a tractor to do these things.

Not the fundamental flaw of civilization Andrew; the fundamental flaw of Western civilization. There've been other civilizations that do not see land and nature like that.
