Why is getting carbon into the soil so important? Because Soil Carbon Sequestration is widely recognized as a part of the solution to Climate Change. If humans restore a balanced (fungal) Soil Food Web to all of the land they control on Earth, it could be possible to return to safe levels of atmospheric carbon in the next 10-15 years.

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.

Living soils aren't just a tool to "fight" climate change they are a globally scaling carbon battery storage system capable of storing several thousand gigatons of carbon that has nowhere to come from but the atmosphere. You build up the Rhizosphere, and you are charging up the battery with carbon. Several Thousand gigatons removes the human caused deviation in carbon 12 emissions, almost twice. That's a large enough battery to SOLVE the climate crisis. AND the only way to make it work is to task small farmers on 2 hectare sized plots to process organic waste into worm castings and spread those castings thinly over the surface of that land for a period of 3 years. After 3 years time the layers are thick enough to perpetually support the microbial activity and shield it from the sun. Then you either continue to allow local flora and fauna to occupy the freshly rehabilitated soils or curate a permaculture or sustainable textile farm. Doing this would create millions of jobs, trillions in income for the people working those jobs, and billions in taxes and profit for the governments and organizations facilitating that employment. It could end the climate crisis, global poverty, and even energy scarcity which in no uncertain terms will boil over into the next world war. Putting millions of people to work as small family operated farmers and decentralizing the Agriculture Industry and supplying their own solar or otherwise sustainable emission free energy solutions will become the new normal. Which is what society owes the normal people of this world who build everything, and make it work. A way to leave. A way to be perfectly comfortable in a career that depends only on their own efforts. We need to empower people to spread out and be self sufficient. This model of society where everyone is a dependent and the governments are the parents is on working in the same way it has always worked. The ruling class is the only class. Everyone else isn't even human. That's what must immediately change.

I am glad I am farming the CORRECT way to hold that Carbon in the SOIL... THANK YOU

@erbenwilzing4922 3 года назад

Every type of farming will allow carbon to be stored inside the soil. Only some do this in higher quantities. There is not one CORRECT way of farming. All sorts of farming will help with climate change problems, since we work with nature (crops, soil, microbials, pollinators, etc.). The type (Non-organic, organic, ecogical, small scale, large scale) of farming depends on local conditions 🙃

@@erbenwilzing4922 - "Every type of farming will allow carbon to be stored inside the soil." Not even close! Entire vanished civilizations throughout History proved it again and again. And the obvious facts of our own time confirm this unfortunate reality! Our "conventional" farming practices is the best desert building stream, Humans ever conceived! Mostly, although not surprisingly, by excluding large amounts of carbon. Surprise? No, not really!

The solution is to actively seek solutions to improve our environment and be very careful about each step as many solutions are sold with the premise of saving the environment but are actually rather destructive. Please consider that you lend your hear to the current batch o doomsayers you will demoralize yourself and then you will achieve nothing. If things are THAT urgent, then going to protests and pointing fingers is a huge waste of time. You don't have the luxury to be depressed and crying and yelling for governments to do things they are simply not going to do. :) Best Wishes two years later.

@nicholaspalmer2220 4 года назад

Dr Johnson needs to publish his figures in a credible journal after peer review. I did much the same calculation several years ago, so the potential is there. However, people need to be aware that there are plenty of snake oil salesmen and people who over-promise and underperform in this area - even some get rich quick merchants! In my former home there is one character who has completely sabotaged any credibility that regenerative agriculture may have had locally by the way he operates. The field needs to weed out these types before they further ruin the public and government views of a promising methodology.

@@tallcedars2310 'Big farming' is very productive, but badly done, it is at the expense of nature and carbon content of soils. I think there is a powerful argument for supporting smaller 'gentler' farmers for protecting the environment if they, at the same time, are going to feed the planet.

@tallcedars2310 4 года назад

@@nicholaspalmer2220 Big farming does go against nature no matter how we look at it. As you are aware, their huge tracts of open land barren of nature cannot ever supply "nutrient dense" foods for those who live in cities. The return of sustainable small farms that live in nature is the only way to turn this ship around by following the rules of nature. Big farming is simply a bandaid sollution that will not take care of our health like small farms, it's simply not physically possible from what I can see.

Desert soils that have almost no carbon are being regenerated to 5 or 6% carbon in 10 years. This amounts to 1/2% increase per year. Quantifying that means we would be sequestering approximately 74 tons of CO2 per hectare per year if the deserts were re-greened. This means that 34% of the Earth's deserts soils need to be regenerated in order to reverse climate change. This is doable, and people in the desert areas would thrive instead of having to immigrate to other countries because of poverty, and starvation.

@dadanifit 4 месяца назад

This chart suggests that temperature is just right now not coupled to the CO2 concentration in atmosphere. Perhaps there is a limit to that temperature increase by some mechanism.

@alasdairyule6369 Год назад

The Soil Association’s report ‘Soil Carbon and Organic Farming’ estimates organic farming could sequester 560 kilos of carbon per hectare per year, or around 0.62 tones. That’s quite different to the 10-20 tones of carbon per hectare per year proposed by this video.

@amitbarikeri3449 5 месяцев назад

Is this number 10-20 tonne/ hectare just the fungi storing the carbon. Correct. Which is in other worlds below soil carbon sequestration. Which is accompanied by the plants above ground and their biomass itself is another method of adding to carbon sequestration.

@editor6801 9 месяцев назад

Is there a factor issue around the 10-20 tons of carbon per year number. All other numbers are in CO2e.. There is a factor of 3.67 (1 ton of Carbon is equal to 3.67 tons of CO2e)? It would make the maths even more alluring, although personally i think taking lower values for ranges/brackets makes for a more pragmatic message. Amazingly i cannot easily find a number/calculus for planetary net emissions (all sources-all sinks)..

Thank you for your reply. So, if increased C02 levels increase the amount of water vapor, does an increased water vapor help increase plant life? However, here in the States, and many locations around the world, are experiencing drought conditions. How can drought conditions coincide or coexist with an increase in water vapor?

@kotukuwhakapiko467 3 года назад

@@richgran Your welcome.does water vapour increase plant life- i would say yes, water in a rainforest has massive biodiversity. Now the drought question i would link to Trans-evaporation, , the way leaves store water in them,since so many trees are deforested, that water vapour wjicj was stored is now air borne, now this is the hard part-trees/forests attract rain! it sounds weird . in terms of earths hydro cycle evolution the finite amount of water has a recyclin system, a balance of sharing water over the earth . with the forests gone, that rainfall cant occur it cant distribute the water where that forest once was and therefore moves on ...leaving an area in drought, and because the rain didnt fall where a forest once was it builds up then falls elsewhere as a flood ,,

@crpth1 2 года назад

For a better understanding of drought conditions, coinciding or coexist with an increase in water prevalence. And even an increase in flood events! It's worth studying the water cycle with a bit more attention. It's neither strange or "unscientific"! In fact it's basic plain logic, after all nature don't play magic tricks on us! Please have a look at studies like the "Niger paradox". Where scientifically proven data showed something we could call bizarre! Exponential desert increase on the Niger river water basin. And at the same time the amount of water the Niger river is dumping in the Ocean also increased exponentially! It even seems logical, when we cross the numbers. Take it from one place and dumped it somewhere else. Point is that somewhere else is of NO benefit to us, Humans!! Water don't "disappear" per se! But it's availability in a form and place from which we can take benefit! Well that's another story, because it changes amazingly fast! Most times fast enough so neither Men or nature can't tag along! Oh! Another curious detail something that walk hand in hand with all that... Carbon! Cheers
