Description
We could say that the destructo-culture, based on industrialized agriculture, carries a basic dysfunction, which is to see the soil as an inanimate thing, a resource to be exploited, & even something that can be seen as 'property' of human beings.
This paradigm has to change because it is at the base of great injustices & of the destruction of the most important base for life on Earth.
In this class we meet the soil as a living being, an organism of enormous complexity & importance, studying how it works in detail, from the microscopic to the global level.
To know soil intimately is fundamental for any sustainable design & to have a direct & vital relationship with this great organism helps us re-connect, physically as well as emotionally, with the Planet.
Presentation Transcript
Slide 1 : Actions that destroy
Mycorriza:
1) dig the soil
2) adding nitrogen Studies of organic growing with & without mycorriza
more micro-nutrients in those
with mycorriza
Mycorrhizal Fungi : Mycorrhizal Fungi polysaccharides secreted by the plant and fungi bind sand to the root Endophytes (similar to mycorrhizae)
Slide 3 : Worms • Eat dead vegetable matter which they degrade into simpler compounds > biochemical transformation
• In one He there can be 500 Kg to 2 Tn of worms
• There are some 220 different species
• They have an effect of activation on the bacterian metabolism
• They increase the contribution of Organic Matter
• Diminish with the adding of Agrochemicals BioDegradation Aeration Stimulating Bacterial Activity
They take Organic Matterdown into the soil : They take Organic Matterdown into the soil
Reproduction : Reproduction Increase their food
- increase the population Collect ALL type of biomass & add as mulch to the soil
Slide 6 : & in the DestructoCulture ...
Slide 7 : ... biomass is thrown in the dump
Worms work at night ... : Worms work at night ... With Lumbricus terrestris Without Lumbricus terrestris
Slide 9 : 9 in one hectare there can be as many bacteria = to the weight of one or two cows & in the forest each of your steps is supported by 120,000 bug legs Thank
them!! & all keep you alive
