Come learn how the structural and functional integrity of soils (the “soil sponge”) is key to resilience. Flooding, drought, fire, heatwaves, food and water security, biodiversity, and public health can all be addressed by growing landscapes with diverse vegetation and deep living soils that soak up rain and store it underground.
Likewise, wind speeds, local and regional temperatures, cloud formation, and rainfall are all influenced by the way we manage the land surface. To create a “living climate,” we must understand how the whole system works together, and respect the essential workforce of plants, animals, insects, fungi, and microbes.
