Farmers are using volcanic rock dust to sequester carbon and improve soil health. The rock dust reacts with carbon dioxide and water to form stable minerals that store carbon for millennia. This could help mitigate climate change, enhance crop yields, and reduce fertilizer use.

Benedikt Bösel is a farmer who plants trees in his fields. He is experimenting with agroforestry, which combines crops and trees to improve soil health and water retention1. This could help him cope with drought, protect biodiversity, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Regenerative agriculture, a way of farming that restores soil health and biodiversity, has its roots in the ancient wisdom of Indigenous peoples. They have been practising holistic land management for millennia, respecting the interconnectedness of all living beings and natural cycles. Their knowledge and practices can inspire and guide modern farmers to adopt more sustainable and resilient methods. #RegenerativeAgriculture #IndigenousWisdom #SoilHealth https://www.rainforest-alliance.org/insights/the-indigenous-roots-of-regenerative-agriculture/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

Improving soil quality is vital to help reach climate targets. Soil is an untapped storage solution that can capture more carbon than the atmosphere and all plant life. Simple techniques, such as crop rotation, cover crops, and direct drilling, can restore soil health and biodiversity in a decade. #SoilHealth #ClimateTargets #WEF https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/08/soil-health-climate-crisis-climate-targets/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

Our soils are often exhausted, leading to lower crop yields, degraded food quality and fallow land. The solution is to plant more crops. Counterintuitive as that may seem, planting more crops, can replenish nutrients in the soil through a process called regenerative agriculture — growing non-cash crops during the off-season provides more organic material that returns to the soil, completing the circle of life. #RegenerativeAgriculture #SoilHealth #FoodQuality https://themessenger.com/opinion/how-to-fix-our-exhausted-soil-thats-leading-to-worse-food-quality

Wenn man sich mit Böden beschäftigt, dann müsste der Entzug wertvoller Ackerflächen durch Gewerbe- und Wohnflächen sowie durch Straßen etc. zuallererst thematisiert werden.
Es taucht aber gar nicht auf. Insofern passt das Wort "enttäuschend" absolut! https://n.respublicae.eu/MartinHaeusling/status/1678363014242660353

Martin Häusling: Vorschlag zur neuen #Bodenschutz-Richtlinie enttäuschend.
- Ohne einen Fahrplan,
- ohne Eindämmung des Flächenverbrauchs und
- rechtsverbindliche Ziele
ist das Ziel gesunder Böden bis 2050 unerreichbar.

Spent 2 days this week in a pasture field talking about dye plants with farmers. Two years ago we were invited to create a dye plant demo plot at Groundswell Regenerative Agriculture Show, just half an hour cycle ride from where we live in Hertfordshire. It has been fascinating to see which plants thrive in a field setting. The Cherry family, who created and host the show, steward their land with great care. We are humbled to be a small part of the event #soil #soilhealth #notillagriculture
