I've enjoyed a few of those as well, but there's one thing that keep bugging me.
Supposedly it takes very little time, little investment (a few people doing most of it by hand with some guidance) and works like magic (e.g. Al Baydha Project).
Why isn't there a "revolution" happening and every neighboring area also adopting that approach?
So much of it seems so obvious, I'd expect some people with excavators building some berms in the US deserts and the place exploding with life in a year or three. But it doesn't happen. Why? Are there any issues that aren't shown in the films? Are there powerful enemies (who wants to keep the desert deserted?) that are lobbying against it?
- morsch 4y agoI don't watch these kinds of videos, but from a multi hour interview with someone who grows food commercially in permaculture, it sounds like it takes a lot of time, patience, planning and knowledge.
- aarondf 4y agoYou've articulated my exact thought after watching these too! I have no idea, and I'd be curious to find out as well. Even if it's not well understood broadly in society, it does seem like it would spread neighbor-to-neighbor on a local level. I don't get it.
- imtringued 4y agoI don't know what scams you are looking at but regenerative agriculture is incredibly complicated and time consuming but not physically labor intensive because it is compatible with mechanization. Conventional argiculture is the simple and lazy version where instead of trying to understand your local ecosystem you just douse everything in fertilizer, pesticide, etc so you don't have to care what is happening in your soil. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uUmIdq0D6-A https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uUmIdq0D6-A
