Elaine Ingham passed away on February 18, 2026. Despite her pioneering work in #soilscience & the #SoilFoodWeb and her huge influence on the #regenerativeAgriculture movement since the 1980's she did not even have an entry in the German Wikipedia - so that's changed now.

During the last decades, soil organic carbon (SOC) attracted the attention of a much wider array of specialists beyond agriculture and soil science, as it was proven to be one of the most crucial components of the earth’s climate system, which has a great potential to be managed by humans. Soils as a carbon pool are one of the key factors in several Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Goal 15, “Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss” with the SOC stock being explicitly cited in Indicator 15.3.1. This technical manual is the first attempt to gather, in a standardized format, the existing data on the impacts of the main soil management practices on SOC content in a wide array of environments, including the advantages, drawbacks and constraints. This manual presents different sustainable soil management (SSM) practices at different scales and in different contexts, supported by case studies that have been shown with quantitative data to have a positive effect on SOC stocks and successful experiences of SOC sequestration in practical field applications. Volume 3 includes a total of 49 practices that have a direct impact on SOC sequestration and maintenance in cropland, grassland, integrated systems and farming approaches.
Hallo, falls du es noch nicht mitbekommen hast: Unser kleiner Verein, Sarsarale e.V., entwickelt sich weiter und wird zum FoodForest.Network! Wir wachsen stetig, werden immer mehr und verbessern uns auf allen Ebenen.
Das Überschreiten der 1,5°C-Grenze, die täglichen Umweltkatastrophen, Extremwetterereignisse, das Artensterben und die fortschreitende Bodendegradierung zeigen uns immer wieder, wie dringend notwendig eine Transformation unserer Lebensmittelproduktion und unseres Konsumverhaltens ist.
Schau dir unsere neue Homepage an: FoodForest.Network.
Und solltest Du Ihn noch nicht kennen unser kleiner Film.
Genau daran arbeiten wir! Und dafür brauchen wir Dich und deine Unterstützung! Vielleicht möchtest du Teil unseres Teams werden oder einfach weitersagen, was wir tun.
Bitte abonniere unseren Newsletter und erzähle anderen von unserer Arbeit.
Aktuell läuft unsere Weihnachtsspendenkampagne – (dabei kann Mensch auch was über Pflanzengilden lernen) wir freuen uns riesig, wenn du mitmachst und die Aktion weiterleitest. Wir brauchen dringend Unterstützung, um noch professioneller und schneller voranzukommen. Jeder Beitrag zählt!
Hast du Ideen, wie du uns noch unterstützen kannst? Dann melde dich gerne direkt bei uns.
Vielen Dank für alles! Bitte weiterleiten!
Ich wünsche dir Glück, Freiheit, gute Freunde und viel Liebe.
Jens vom FoodForest.Network

Hier ein Video von Fabi, einem Freund von mir und Unterstützer des Food Forest Network, der gerade ohne Flugzeug auf Weltreise ist. Heute teilt er ein Video über meinen Workshop und die Arbeiten an unserem Projekt Ana Fonio im Norden Senegals. Dabei gibt es auch einen kleinen Einblick in Pflanzungen von Food Forests und syntropischem Agroforst Systemen, die wir vor sechs Monaten begonnen haben. Schaut mal rein!

When we first started out on this property it was nearly 100% pasture for running beef cattle. Michael immediately determined which areas were not apt for pasture (nearly half of it) and let the process of natural succession get to work.
Letting #nature lend a hand for a few years certainly helped a lot to prep for the converting of all that land into a productive polyculture food forest.
More recently we've decided to eliminate two additional pastures, spaces that have been maintained this whole time to support our small herd of dairy cows and pack horses but have proven to be too steep to withstand hoof traffic without erosion.
The #cacao trees are ready and need to be planted, we have an order of more rare and interesting fruit #trees being delivered later this week, and a LOT of #coffee starting to come up in their nursery bags that will need to be planted later in the new year.
The work of prepping and converting pasture into a #FoodForst is distinct from planting under pioneer trees that provide much needed shade for recent transplants. The concepts of #SyntropicAgriculture have been inspiring, however, and we're excited to see this next - somewhat unexpected - development of the property take shape.

Cuando empezamos a trabajar esta propiedad, era casi 100% pasto para el ganado vacuno. Michael determinó inmediatamente qué zonas no eran aptas para pastos (casi la mitad) y dejó que el proceso de sucesión natural se pusiera manos a la obra.
Dejar que la #naturaleza echara una mano durante unos años ayudó mucho a preparar la conversión de toda esa tierra en un bosque productivo de policultivos.
Más recientemente hemos decidido eliminar dos potreros adicionales, espacios que se han mantenido todo este tiempo para apoyar a nuestro pequeño rebaño de vacas lecheras y caballos de carga, pero han demostrado ser demasiado empinada para soportar el tráfico de pezuñas sin erosión.
Los árboles de #cacao están listos y necesitan ser plantados, tenemos un pedido de #árboles frutales raros e interesantes que serán entregados a finales de esta semana, y un MONTÓN de #café empezando a salir en sus bolsas de vivero que necesitarán ser sembrados más tarde en el nuevo año.
El trabajo de preparación y conversión de los pastos en un #BosqueProductivo es distinto de la plantación bajo los árboles pioneros que proporcionan sombra muy necesaria para los trasplantes recientes. Los conceptos de #AgriculturaSintropica han sido inspiradores, sin embargo, y estamos emocionados de realizar este próximo - y algo inesperado - paso de desarrollo de la finca.
