Tues | Feb 22 | 1 – 3 pm
Instructor: Paul Maschka
Format: Zoom
Soil is life. In this course we will go deep into the biology and geology that makes up living soil. We will discuss how early agriculturalists and modern agriculture still do not understand the living dynamic that is soil, and why the hidden second half of nature beneath our feet is essential to our survival. We will discuss present-day viable alternative agricultural methods that perpetuate life, sequester carbon, and result in less disruption to the teeming ecosystem of living soil. The methods shared are human-scale practices with only small scale motorized equipment, if any.
