Listen to Judith's interview here: https://soundcloud.com/investinginregenerativeagriculture/interview-judith-d-schwartz Take aways from the interview: - Climate change is a symptom of the severe water cycle disturbance and there is something we can do about it! - When the landscape isn’t being recharged with water, it leads to flooding and drought (worst case also fire) - Humans desertified 1/3 of the earth’s cover the last 10.000 years - We are carbon based life but the living part is mostly water - There is much more you (as a land owner/manager) to influence the water cycle on and above your land - Often when we talk about water we talk about big centralised water systems or the weather, Zach is focussed on decentralised water retention landscapes - Sub-irrigated, you use a lot less energy - Climate changes: everywhere the same story the precipitation is more when it comes and it comes less often - Large dams and reservoirs are very energy intensive, smaller decentralised water retention systems are much more efficient Links mentioned in the interview: Sepp Holzer (Austria) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepp_Holzer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you want to discover more visit www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com If you want to receive an email when I upload a new episode, subscribe here eepurl.com/cxU33P The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.
