Sustainable Conservation believes promoting a healthy environment can be good for business.
Our award-winning climate, air, water and wildlife initiatives promote practical solutions and tangible results for California and its people. Founded in 1993, Sustainable Conservation's effectiveness lies in building strong alliances with business, agriculture and government -- and establishing models for environmental and economic sustainability that can be replicated across California and beyond.
'Agroecology' is the universal term that should be uttered and taught more. Organic, regenerative, climate-smart, sustainable, biodynamic, permaculture, veganic, including more destructive farming practices like extensive, intensive, industrial, etc. -- all intersect with each other to form the ever evolving concept and practice of agroecology -- a utopian planetary food system that is holistic, comprehensive, multidisciplinary, multi-industry, multi-scale, multi-scope, egalitarian, equitable, just, fair, resilient, etc. Agroecology takes into account social, cultural, economic, political, legal, historical, environmental, extra-anthropological, etc. aspects -- all the complex moving parts we can think of that make up any life giving and sustaining system for that matter -- unlike the current global food system that is largely linear, extractive, exploitative, consumerist, speciecist, classist, racist, colonialist, foremostly profit-driven, etc. -- basically destructive and benefiting those at the top of the food chain -- wealthy and powerful neoliberals for instance.
Can someone TL;DR this in a concise and useful way? I understand there are new and improved permitting pathways, what are those pathways? I'd like to help get some restoration projects moving with local partner groups in the San Diego area
Hi Cody - for more information on the permitting pathways themselves, check out this handout: suscon.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Sustainable-Conservation-Expedited-Permitting-Summary-Table-11-29-2022.pdf You can also visit our site to learn more about our work
Groundwater recharge! Spreading water on active farmland in the right amounts, on the right crops, at the right times, to percolate into the aquifer below.
There are California dairies that use their digester-gathered energy to fuel their fleets. It's an interesting idea, though there are larger considerations re: electric vehicles and stress on our grid that the Admin's currently investing in & investigating. Definitely an option to explore for an operation that does have a digester/can afford to have energy solutions on this scale.
@@sustainableconservation Thanks for the answer there is a recent presentation on floating photovoltaic on the canals to replace all the diesel generators that pump water from the canals to the fields.desiel on the farm adds to the valleys crappy air quality
@@sustainableconservation I saw a youtube on electric tractors at a farm fair we need an electric dairy demonstration project :) also, all-electric farming might make the case for Ethanol being carbon neutral
Check out what our partners are doing in our restoration success story blogs: suscon.org/blog/2021/02/hre-dennett-dam/ suscon.org/blog/2020/12/hre-fish-passage/ suscon.org/blog/2020/11/hre-french-creek/ And those are the recent ones!
There is no sustainable source of water in california, greedy farmers have already destroyed the entire water system in this state and there is no turning back from that, nothing that has been done by farmers in the state of California has been beneficial to the ecosystem of any part of same state, unless you are a raving moron, no one can feed 1/3 of the world out of one valley and consider it sustainable.
Hi there, we encourage you to take a look at our blog and our work to learn what everyone's doing in California for a sustainable water future - including farmers, water managers, policymakers and more! There is progress, and there is hope. suscon.org/
I'm not sure there will be any major dairies in the valley in another 20 years. Not enough revenue per acre foot of water used. Most will be moving to Idaho and Colorado. There's a reason why Chobani built their latest yogurt plant in Idaho. Plus demand is declining.
It'll be interesting to see, and for more context we just hosted a dairies panel with two dairy producers and climate/water experts. Worth looking at to see what's being done to reduce GHGs, protect water quality and up land stewardship: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G-_FIEhzZT8.html
Please add solutions also with this video. Please compare the Moisture Capture Unit ( AWG = Atmospheric Water Generator for even 2000 LPD ) from Akvo and Vayujal; & other Indian companies. Think of cost, sales network, maintenance network, after sales service, weight, average power consumption per 100 liter of water etc. From Kolkata Mr Navkaran Singh Bagga is a pioneer in Atmospheric Water Capture units His website is akvosphere.com/akvo-atmospheric-water-generators/ They are doing very well. see video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l2uzNmD7-NA.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zl-uith5kxE.html Vayujal units are seen at vayujal.com While prima facie it seems to me that Akvo units are more efficient than Vayujal units. They have bigger and better network. My perception is Vayujal is very new and being run by fresh engineers. Akvo is around as a company for many years now. see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UU46qleYx4E.html Channel of Akvo is ru-vid.com/show-UCxl9jxLZ2ednGxQgJAOx5PAvideos Channel of Vayujal is ru-vid.comvideos You can see 40 liter a day mainly. while can comment separately on other units. Be aware in India already atleast 6 more separate companies are selling similar units in "high demand". e.g. Meghdoot, BEL Bharat Electronics, Morning Dew, Liquipro, Airowater ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MPWiwM8Sjmw.html watermakerindia.com/ Morning Dew www.cleanwaterproblem.com/our-products/ Liquipro liquipro.in/products Thanks and Regards Professor Subhashish Chattopadhyay, Bangalore 0091-9886735867 See his website also www.kvpyiitjeeolympiad.engineering
Any graphics you could show, pie slices going to what purposes, rather than someone talking? Volume on my computer turned to max and could not hear all his words. I'm looking for something shareable.
Hi Traci, thanks for your question! If you follow the link at the end of the video/in the description to our blog, there's a lot more information available on what amounts of funding are going to what kinds of projects. Feel free to share that link! Additionally, we have a written statement on our Technical Resources page: suscon.org/technical-resources/ Scroll down to the "Policy" Section, and under Proposition 3, click on "Endorsement". A .PDF will pop up that you can download.
Texas and Florida have more invasive species but in Texas's case it seems like most of the invasive species balance out and become naturalized except for Zebra mussels. They are a serious problem.
as far as i know this "grass" needs certain growing conditions. it needs well drianed soils, sandy, or rocky almost dry soils and doesnt need very much water. the images shown were nice and agree with protecting the natural beauty but those areas shown seem lush and well very well watered areas i dont think those areas like big sur would be affected. the mexican feather grass cant have wet conditions it basically drowns. oh and $5 to pull off 2 plants???? tell you what, if you really care and you see this grass pull over and pull the seeds out. its very very easy to do they are clumps of "hair" and pull right off. through the seeds away or do what you want. problem contained.
