“The nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.” Franklin D. Roosevelt “The nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.” Franklin D. Roosevelt Losing 1% of the earth’s topsoil each year: an area the size of Indiana. At this rate only 60 years of topsoil remain. Degraded soil holds significantly less water and grows significantly less food. Estimate a 30% decrease in food production capacity with a 50% increase in demand for food and water over the next years (Time Magazine). Soil Loss and Degradation

Primary Causes Conventional agriculture (tilling) Overgrazing General poor management Soil Loss and Degradation

Inspiration Allan Savory and Holistic Management No-Till Agriculture of Fukouka, Ruth Stout and locally Dave Brandt Earthworks by those such as Jeff Lawton, Sepp Holzer, and others Research of Christine Jones on the “Liquid Carbon Pathway” Solutions

Key Concepts Bare soil is damaged soil.  No-till, don’t overgraze, etc. Nature knows how to grow food and build soil in a healthy and harmonious way.  Mob Grazing imitates buffalo herds  Cover crops model forest successional processes Build Soil From the Top Down and the Bottom Up.  Nitrogen Fixers and Dynamic Accumulators  Liquid Carbon Pathway  Mulch Solutions
