It can be pretty fast if you work with the natural feedback loops. Permaculture design principles, "use small, slow solutions". This is an accidental grove out along the CAS canal project. The bearm made unintentionally by the canal designers captured monsoon rains and accumulated organics for a grove to naturally spring up there. https://youtu.be/jf8usAesJvo https://youtu.be/jf8usAesJvo The more impressive (deliberate) projects involve turning barerock wastelands into productive lands using these principles. There is a big difference between human intervention that sets us apart from the ecosystem (in which we act upon the ecosystem) and human intervention where we work as a participant of the ecosystem (in which we participate within the ecosystem). We can and should use technology, but it is a different paradigm and a different way of seeing.
