Description: Ecosia is the search engine that plants trees: ecosia.co/info Why is soil health so important to climate change? Soil is fundamental to growing food and can play a huge role in carbon sequestration - if only we stop treating it like dirt. Industrial farming and intensive animal grazing have led to soil degradation, erosion and desertification. What if, instead, small-scale agriculture could feed the world whilst also allowing biodiversity to thrive? In this second episode of our video series on regenerative agriculture, we share how soil management practices like crop rotation, Allan Savory’s rotational animal grazing, and agroforestry all influence soil fertility and food production - and whether these regenerative farming methods can be scaled and reverse climate change. #RegenerativeAgriculture #FoodSecurity #Documentary ___ Produced and directed by Fátima González-Torres (IG: @fatilugonzalevic) Written by Fátima González-Torres (IG: @fatilugonzalevic) & Ceri Flook Editing & post-production by Sina Samavati (IG: @sinasamavati) Motion graphics & animation by Sina Samavati (IG: @sinasamavati) Cinematography by Sina Samavati (IG: @sinasamavati) & Shane Thomas McMillan (IG: @dokumentarian) ____ Make Ecosia your default search engine to plant trees while you search the web: ecosia.co/install Ecosia is available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and many more.
