Hi all, I've just setup my own #GoToSocial instance, so it's time for an updated #introduction
I'm very much into #yoga and #meditation and everything related to that. I'm trying to learn #Sanskrit because its a beautiful language and also in order to be able to read text like the #BhagavadGita #Upanishads #YogaSutras which greatly inspire me.
I'm from the #Netherlands and work in #science in the field of outdoor #AirQuality I may occasionally share something about that, but this is not a work account (and any opinions are my own).
I love #photography , mostly related to #nature #weather #clouds #trees
I love the #forest, I'm grateful to live at the edge of the beautiful #Veluwe nature area.
I love growing food in my #garden using #organic #permaculture and #RegenerativeAgriculture inspired methods, I'm dreaming of tending my own #FoodForest some day.
Unfortunately I'm operating at half power thanks to #LongCovid since Feb. '22, so most of my hobbies are in "maintenance mode".
I'll post in English, my Dutch account is @kedara_nl
I also have a personal website @ https://kedara.eu where I #blog, tend a #DigitalGarden / #wiki and try to contribute to the #Indieweb #smallweb communities.
I've done my fair share of instance hopping and had hoped to solve that by starting my own Akkoma instance, but found GoToSocial more suitable to my needs in the end. I hope to stay here now indefinitely.
Let me know if you have similar interests and I'll be happy to chat!
Hello, my name is Benedikt Haug, and I am a researcher at the #PlantBreeding group of #WageningenUniversity. I will post here regularly on my work in breeding for biodiverse and resilient cropping systems, such as mixed cropping, strip cropping, agroforestry and agrivoltaics.
My main interests are in the role of the #PlantGenotype and its #Holobiont in...
Welcome to the climatejustice Fediverse @climateeforum,
Happy to have you here.
If you have any questions, or need help or guidance I'm alwa here.
New CEF video: “Farming Food for Life” features Stephen Sherwood, a regenerative farmer and researcher in Ecuador’s Andes. We discuss how smallholder farmers can restore soil, draw down carbon, and build climate resilience, with practical lessons from decades of work. Watch the conversation and join us in rethinking food, farming, and climate action.

"Dr. Stephen Sherwood, a regenerative farmer, food activist, and researcher based in Ecuador shares his journey to becoming a leader in regenerative agriculture in the Andes."
One of my projects this year is to regenerate the soil in my yard. I'm just learning about regenerative practices so I'm not sure what will work yet, but I've started by sowing clover on a slope that's been damaged by erosion.
I got inspired after seeing the documentary Common Ground last year. To protect the soil I saved all my leaves and made a mulch with compose to spread over the ground so there were no bare patches of dirt.

I haven't heard of that. Will have to look into it.
My overarching belief is that the only way out of this is to study nature, and how she has maintained a healthy balance of processes for millennia. (And then do subtle hacking of those processes where appropriate) ruminant animals were part of her balance process and carbon cycling. There were roughly the same number of bison on the North American continent before Europeans came as there are now cows. And they were farting methane the whole time.
Nature knows how to farm way better than humans. The so called green revolution of the 50s was some serious hubris and really screwed the pooch. We need farmers to revert to #RegenerativeAgriculture on a large scale immediately. Telling them livestock is bad, when they are a key element of RegenAg just makes them resistant to the idea.

Hello friends!
I am Eden, I am #NewHere, and I like making things grow.
My particular interests include #TreePruning (think: fruit orchards, but also espaliers and bonsai when I'm feeling particularly spicy), figuring out how to grow a #Garden on a plot that is almost 100 % sand and gets little to no rain in the summer months, #BuildingSoil, and collecting interesting vegetable varieties (bonus points if they are black/purple or variegated).
I am a mix of about 50 % idealism and 50 % cynicism. The world is going to shit, but… that doesn't mean we can't try to have nice things while we watch the world burn.
Follow and connect if you want to exchange ideas, passions, seeds or just talk about STUFF. I speak German and English well enough to hold a conversation, other languages might need some more time to decipher.

Northey Street City Farm in #BrisbaneAustralia
"We consider the vital connection to the elements of nature to be integral to learning and offer practical skills that can be utilised every day in your own garden space or working environment. Being based in the Magical #Bundjalung Country - the Northern Rivers 'Rainbow Region' of Northern #NewSouthWales, Australia, 'Growing Roots' offers a huge range of functional and cutting edge experimental #permaculture systems for students to explore. From the intensive, highly productive market gardens of ‘The Farm’ at Byron Bay through to Rural #FoodForests, #Agroforestry Systems, #BushTukka Gardens and the Great Wilderness of our Subtropical and Cool Temperate Rainforests, the teachings of nature - and humans creative dance within it - are vast and profound. We utilise the following 12 principles of Permaculture."

"The Food Farm is a 16 acre #organic small farm in the Waipara Valley, North Canterbury #NewZealand.
Our property has been designed using permaculture principles and we produce most of our own food.
We help people achieve their food-growing goals. We're based on our organic #permaculture property in North Canterbury, #Aotearoa NZ."

That's why #biochar and #RegenerativeAgriculture are so important. Both ultimately sequester carbon into the soil. With Regen Ag for about 30 years. With biochar you get 1000+year stable carbon.
Both are short natural carbon cycle hacks, so you're taking biomass that would ordinarily return to the atmosphere through natural 20-30 year processes and instead sequestering a significant portion in such a way as to increase and improve resiliency of food production.
Technological carbon capture is just an excuse to burn more fossil fuels.
