Regenerative & (Biological) Agriculture can be and needs to be initiated very quickly over the face of all arable land in all the major countries on
\n earth. This common sense system needs to be championed by all academics, farmers, and environmentalists - then the human society - if we want a future
\n for our children.<\/p>\n
The regeneration of soil through non chemical fertilisers with the conscious choice of mineral applications using regenerative and biological agricultural
\n practices, can be and has to commence as soon as possible - it need not be delayed any longer.<\/p>\n
What Phil Gregory PhD is saying has already been initiated by pioneers Graeme Sait, Ardern Andersen, Susan Jones and Elaine Ingham. We now have the answers
\n - what we need now is the education and the will to implement this model of land management - and finally take down this C02 bogey - once and for all.<\/p>\n

Especially, of how soil Even if we stop burning fossil fuels today - the gases (including methane escaping the permafrost) are still going to remain in the atmosphere for a long Once he stumbled into the literature he started making connections and one link lead to another and as he followed these \u2019natural\u2019 connections he becameDOWNLOAD THE FULL TRANSCRIPTION<\/h3>\n

\n that there were planets orbiting stars in our galaxy. That in the last 25 or so years astronomers using the latest technological breakthroughs have
\n found thousands of new planets - which is a gigantic step in breaking out of the isolation of the scientific mindset that did not or could not believe
\n that there would be other planets circling stars not only throughout our galaxy of a 100 billion stars, but all the other billions of galaxies in existence
\n as well. He also surmises that in 30 years time we may know if there is life on these planets. <\/p>\nOnly 60 years of Farming Left if Soil Degradation Continues <\/h3>\n

\n in their understanding of nature and in particular soil science and microbial activity. <\/p>\nProfessional Agronomists lack knowledge on micro flora and soil<\/h3>\n
