Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison demonstrates how your hand is a map of the basic pattern of landform found throughout most of the planet. He then explains how water travels from source to sink in a Permaculture designed landscape versus conventional civil engineering practices.

The terminology in this video describing the landform: Main Ridge, Primary Ridge & Primary Valley was coined by P.A. Yeomans, founder of the Keyline Plan:

Hand coloured linocuts by Liz Somerville.

Liz graduated from Winchester School of Art in 1988 with a degree in textile design and spent sixteen years working as a designer in London, before moving to Dorset and becoming a full-time artist. 

Over the years Liz has developed her style of printmaking, combining a lino- or woodcut printed keyline (a boundary line that separates areas of colour as well as adding definition and texture) with painted blocks of colour. Her work can be viewed in galleries and exhibitions across the UK.

Artificial Exploitation, 3-color screen print.

And some process images: 1. if i draw off the page, i draw the missing pieces to the side, since I'm going to digitally assemble the final scans later, 2. the white-looking ink dries as a medium gray - it's ALWAYS important to test what mixed screen inks do when they dry on the paper you're using, 3. registration pins and hole punches keep my paper in register better than most methods (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing_registration), my work uses overlaying transparent colors so this is extra important to me; most screen printers use tricks with 'trapping' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_(printing)) and an opaque 'keyline' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyline) to hide imperfections in registration; I cannot do this if I want to save the trouble of printing seven colors versus three, 4 + 5. again, inks dry in unexpected ways, test your mix, 6. second transparent color didn't darken the gray as much as I hoped, but good enough, 7. red inks tend to almost always darken the colors below it very nicely; designing a poster with red as the final color makes my life so much easier.

Introduction To Regenerative Agriculture- Meaning & Principles!

The future of agriculture is transforming. The green revolution was successful in feeding the world's rapidly expanding population, but it also drained the soil, reduced biodiversity, and accelerated climate change. These extractive methods are not long-term solutions. By using a number of regenerative agriculture-related techniques, we must act swiftly to revolutionize agriculture.

What Is Regenerative Agriculture ? 

A conservation and repair strategy for food and farming systems is known as regenerative agriculture. It emphasizes topsoil regeneration, raising biodiversity, enriching the water cycle, improving ecosystem services, promoting biosequestration, boosting climate resilience, and preserving the health and vitality of farm soil. 

There is no one particular method of regenerative agriculture. However, it primarily focuses on implementing such practices that  minimize soil disturbances. Advocates of regenerative agriculture combine a number of sustainable agriculture practices. Practices include adding composted material, implementing crop cover practices, and recycling as much farm trash as possible. 

Regenerative farming practices are frequently based on permaculture, agroecology, agroforestry, restoration ecology, keyline design, and holistic management on small farms and gardens. These methods are being used by large farms more and more, and they frequently employ "no-till" and/or "reduced till" approaches.

Since healthier soils are more resistant to adverse weather and host fewer pests and pathogens, less input may be needed, and crop yields may rise. To make this possible, plenty of soil health management systems have been gaining popularity in recent times. 

What Ideas And Methods Underlie Regenerative Agriculture ?

The agricultural industry needs to change, and regenerative agriculture can make this change possible by increasing the organic matter in the soil and promoting its health. It is not, however, a one-size-fits-all approach; rather, each distinct location necessitates a particular collection of agricultural strategies to maximize productivity while preserving soil and biodiversity. Although they are based on a common set of principles, different regenerative methods are suited to different regions or even particular farms depending on the environment. 

Diminishing soil disturbance to protect the soil and climate with no-till or reduced-till techniques.

Prevention of soil erosion with year-round crop coverage. 

Maximizing resilience and productivity through diversifying crops in space and time.

Decreasing chemical inputs and increasing use of biologicals with precision farming techniques.

Can Regenerative Agriculture Stop The Effects Of Global Warming

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that agriculture, forestry, and other land uses are responsible for around 22% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (IPCC). The loss of 133 Pg C from the top 2 meters of soil, or 8% of all global carbon soil stores, during a period of 12,000 years, according to one model, has been attributed largely to agricultural land usage. 

However, soils are one of the planet's most significant carbon sinks, retaining more carbon than both the atmosphere and all of the world's plants combined. Soils can store a considerable amount of carbon each year when techniques that increase carbon inputs into the soil, such as growing cover crops, are paired with techniques that reduce carbon losses, like no-tilling. Regenerative farming has the power to change agriculture from a contributor to greenhouse gas emissions to a net carbon sink.

Agribusinesses can turn to regenerative agriculture softwares to gain agronomy knowledge that suggests methods for enhancing soil health, monitor activities, and assess effects on farms & soil.

This thread was a response to questions about how to build soil. I look at the big picture what helps soil grow & end with a discussions about how towns & cities might be designed to help.

So there’s so much to cover in how to repair things. I’m going to do a slow thread on how the designed and built environment can be directed to soil building and climate repair.

1st thing to think about is what is soil? For brevity i’m going to say soil is the culturing of weathered rock with a food web of microorganisms that leads to making rock nutrients solvable &stores them along with organic carbon. (Soil scientists i know i’m over-simplifying)

I’m talking about aerobic souls formed with oxygen rather than anaerobic. Wetlands souls are amazing and do good. But there are reasons to focus in aerobic for now. (I’m a huge fan of wetlands and pond systems too)

Too much water and too much compaction removes oxygen. The system switches to anaerobes that live by yanking Oxygen off of soil nutrients, making them smell bad and able to leave the soil. They also produce alcohols that prevent plant roots from growing.

So this kind of soil needs: enough air, water, contact with plants (that feed it with sugars and proteins made with photosynthesis and CO2 exuded from their roots.)

Rock weathers into subsoil without a lot of big life, when plants interact with it they build living subsoil through their roots and the accumulation of organic matter on top.

Living soil is protective. So it actually protects the subsoil from some of the processes that speed up formation. Which is why in natural conditions it can settle into a very slow rate of production.

We have been running civilizations in the use of this built up soil. Turning it killing fungi and structure to get bacterial blooms that feed out Annual crops.

This leads to Erosion rates more similar to mountain systems then the low lands where the soil formed. We are burning through our soil to grow and crash quite a few civs

You have to understand. The buffering capacity of our plants souls* could have handled the CO2 from fossil fuels. Only what we used fossil fuels for was to increase erosion, change the balance of water runoff, deforest, and plow over the grasslands every April. 8/?

*Sorry about the autocorrect to soul. Lol

I have to be off-line for a spell but I’ll continue with a discussion about how we design to accelerate that soil building process. Including some references in case studies

So i want to introduce a few puzzle pieces. The first is the work of this man PA Yeomans. He was a mining geologist who retired and starting thinking about soil care from a Geomorphologist POV

When he set off to tend his land, the Australian gov provided soil conservation literature focused on contour plowing. Based on the view that soil is precious(it is) but that it’s impossible to speed its production (it’s not)

The main problems with contour based design can be seen from this image by PA. On land contours are not parallel. This slows water but it drains ridges and concentrates water in valleys. Overdrying and overwriting soil at the same time. Can even blow out.

PA developed a way of understanding topographic features to organize landscapes so that: water is infiltrated, spread, extra collected stored as high as possible to re-hydrate during dry times. He realized this could be used to organize everything on broad acre farmland

This prob is too dense for Twitter. But imagine land as big ridges between streams and they have smaller ridges and valleys. Imagine the inflection point in those smaller valleys where the land nicks in like a clavicle * in the pic 13/

PA called them keyponts and they are : the highest water concentrating point in land, where soils thicken, & any line parallel to this on the land concentrated water above but spreads water below

Now he had a way to organize features. First he placed ponds at those points. Collection drains could be set to collect overland flow and move it into those ponds. Then any roads could follow those drains with minimal impact actually helping water collection.

And bellow, the land could be plowed with a subsoiler that sharpers the subsoil without turning the soil. And he would plow down on ridges and up on valleys which means water spreads.

PAs land:

And here in red are plow lines (or how to organize and water receiving element such as tree rows to spread water along ridges)

Roads, buildings, pasture, agroforestry- whatever could be designed. Roads can also be placed along ridges, Trees get planted along ridges & in valleys and along streams with complete connectivity. And humans move out of valleys to ridges, leaving valleys for soil and wildlife.

This planning process is like adding sourdough starter to flour and sugar and adding just enough water. The subsoil can be reached by water, roots, inoculated by microbes. you can rapidly add feet of topsoil. Keyline farms are amazing. They stop flashy creeks & can repair land

And it should be viewed as appropriate for where people live and farm. Ag land not the giant ranges that could be bison prairies.

So there is more. PAs last book was on how these design methods could be applied to cities and towns. That towns could extend along ridges,roads could direct water into Catchment which could water yards then agricultural & reforested lowlands. He called it “the city forest”

Think about what this would mean. Human settlements designed so they are collectors of water, human labor, and even humanure, directed towards the generation and care of soils and forestry.

So let’s talk examples. Frederick Law Olmstead designed a number of Stormwater collecting parks Into towns. One of the most famous being Boston’s Emerald Necklace. /24

His son John Charles did something similar when he designed Portland Oregon’s water collecting neighborhood of Lauralhurst. Before the current Stormwater system, Laurelhurst Park was the detention basin.

Next step in the journey Is Davis California in the 80s where Mike Corbett designed village homes a neighborhood designed to handle Stormwater by soaking it in Swales and orchards rather then management systems

Here’s a video of Mollison touring the place in the 1990s. https://youtu.be/v_05oRQxssQ I’ve heated that they have managed several very large storm events that flooded their neighbors. All while building the soil and restoring the water table.

Village Homes with Bill Mollison (improved audio)

So:,remember this and this question: what if we really looked for a city that took this approach?

Well, here's Siena Italy which started as a number of little settlements and converged in the hills of Tuscany: that big public square is the Piaza Del Campo- built in the key point of the landscape, The roads collect water into drains and reservoirs under the piazzas.

28/ if you look at the landscape you see how this hilltown stayed on the uplands and collected water to irrigate the lowlands.

Underground passages for water, the 'fountain of the earth' sits at the keypoint, and the lowland valleys are irrigated and saved for soil...
