Full interview with Judith https://soundcloud.com/investinginregenerativeagriculture/interview-judith-d-schwartz Judith’s books and articles: judithdschwartz.com/books-articles/ We discussed how she ended up looking at Soil and why she is so enthusiastic about nature's way of solving issues. - How does natural systems work to manage a particular problem? (in this case heat or carbon) - Plants are running the show - Plant life is cooling the planet - Plants manage water and by managing water they manage heat - We 'devegetated' about 25% of the planet with pavements, buildings, industrial agriculture and deforestation - Financial system doesn’t make any sense because we are rewarded for things that don’t create any wealth but from extraction (it only makes sense in the short term) - Most people don't know that we can restore large scale ecosystems Links Judith mentioned in the summary: https://www.peterandrewsoam.com/ The documentary of John D.
