Description
"Deserts are the footprint of civilization", & this means that the most important work we have to do now as conscious human beings is to regenerate the soils that have been lost, & those that have been exploited & de-vitalized all over the planet, especially by agricultural activities.
Fertile soils are very important stores of carbon in the earth, & just with regenerating soils we could halt climate change stabilizing the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.
It is vital for sustainability that we regenerate & improve the fertility of soils also because they are the support of biodiversity, important stores of water & indeed the base of all land-dwelling life & any civilization. There are many techniques we can use, & many very inspiring examples of soils regeneration (& so of entire ecosystems) in the world. In this class we explore several of those.

Slide 2 : Helena Norberg-Hodge Although this is not a re-generation project as such, it is a most integral analysis of what kind of re-generation we need to look for. In her famous documentary, Learning from Ladakh,  Helena Norberg-Hodge explores all aspects of the damage caused by 'development': at the social, environmental, health & psychological as well as cultural & economic level. Most importantly she clearly shows how these dimensions are intimately inter-connected.
