How to grow great food and drawdown carbon as a positive climate action? Grow & repair soil!!
In Masterclass #18, I focus on a range of permaculture approaches to storing carbon, plus how to simply repair soil, grow soil and grow great food.
This clip (54 min) is part of the free online permaculture masterclass series that I present each month. These are all sponsored by the Permaculture Education Institute Masterclass topics are always selected by the participants of previous sessions and the Permaculture Educators’ Program.
Permaculture as climate action
In this session, I explore positive permaculture climate action through good soil building strategies to significantly drawdown carbon and grow great local food. The focus of this session is particularly for a household and community scale, but there is also reference to broader regenerative agriculture strategies. I explore:
-
- making soil repair a priority
- a focus on perennials
- methods of least disturbance
- covering and protecting the soil
- feeding your garden biochar
- adding compost (a whole range of different types)
- doing no-dig gardening
- supporting regenerative farmers
- teaching and sharing permaculture
