"We can farm better. All of us. Though the rapidly escalating crises can seem overwhelming, we have choices. (It is so critical that we realize that. There is always something we can do. All of us.) Yes, we are destroying and degrading our ecosystems faster than they can rebuild themselves — but we can help speed the rebuilding while growing our food at the same time."

Birds and bats help Peruvian cacao farmers gain higher yields, study says

In the arid forests of northern Peru, a rare variety of cacao tree known as blanco de Piura is cultivated by farmers and used to produce “fine-flavor” cacao (the main ingredient in chocolate). And, as it turns out, farmers in this region are getting help from some unexpected friends: birds and bats. A new study […]

“The land work won’t work without the people work”

If we're to safely navigate the social, economic & environmental challenges ahead then we need to gather together, find commonality, evolve a shared vision & form cooperative movements to carry us across the threshold of change.

We must pledge allegiance TO ALL LIFE...

Capitalist culture is killing the Earth - our only HOME.

We must have clear intention to step away from being a consumer of the planet & become an active citizen for REGENERATIVE CHANGE.

We must begin a new era of THINKING, BEING & DOING 🙏

"By looking at the bigger picture of animal-plant-ecosystem relationships, and based on the growing popularity of nature-based climate solutions, scientists believe that now is the time for the wider conservation and rewilding movements to embrace ACC (Animating the Carbon Cycle) to help animals fulfil their vital roles in the carbon cycle." 🤔

Animating the Carbon Cycle: Earth’s animals vital allies in CO2 storage

Wildlife — as big as elephants and as small as spiders — are important players in the carbon cycle, and scientists say that supercharging ecosystems with animals could enhance terrestrial and marine carbon sinks.

Another day, another mob-grazing move at Greenfenn.

The flocks ebb & flow over the land is driven by enabling domestic & wild species to fully intertwine within the ecological web of the land-base & allowing other cohabitants the space & peace they require.
