*Global CA-CoP* *CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE*

*for sustainable agriculture and land management*

Dear Subscribers,

Please see herebelow a self-explanatory message from Didi Pershouse
regarding Registration closing soon: Preventing Wildfires, Floods, and
Drought with the Soil Carbon Sponge--online course.

Apologoes for any cross-posting.

*Conservation Agriculture is an ecosystem approach to regenerative
sustainable agriculture and land management based on the practical
application of context-specific and locally adapted three interlinked
principles of: (i) Continuous no or minimum mechanical soil disturbance
(no-till seeding/planting and weeding, and minimum soil disturbance with
all other farm operations including harvesting);  (ii) permanent
maintenance of soil mulch cover (crop biomass, stubble and cover crops);
and (iii) diversification of cropping system (economically, environmentally
and socially adapted rotations and/or sequences and/or associations
involving annuals and/or perennials, including legumes and cover crops),
along with other complementary good agricultural production and land
management practices. Conservation Agriculture systems are present in all
continents, involving rainfed and irrigated systems including annual
cropland systems, perennial systems, orchards and plantation systems,
agroforestry systems, crop-livestock systems, pasture and rangeland
systems, organic production systems and rice-based systems. Conservation
Tillage, Reduced Tillage and Minimum Tillage are not Conservation
Agriculture, and nor is No-Till on its own* (more at:

*Hello wonderful people,*
What ever you are doing right now, you are much more powerful than you
think you are.

So is the invisible life in the land around you.

*Your* yard, *your* farm, *your *neighborhood, *your* parking lot at work,
the trees around you, and the sky above you, are all part of a larger
interconnected system through which water flows. Most people, including
those who make policies, instinctively understand the power of landscape
function, but are totally unaware of it in their daily actions, and so
unknowingly contribute to weird water flows that gradually create the
"natural" disasters we fear. The online course that starts tomorrow
<https://didipershouse.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6075151f49894b2c63289a22a&id=5d922a71b7&e=7906f4d8e3>
will show you how *small actions can create profound feedback loops that
build much more resilient neighborhoods*, regions, and even
continents--with clean water, working economies, a stable climate, and food
to support life of all species.

What happens to the water that moves across the sky above you? Does it form
raindrops, soak into the sponge, and rehydrate the land, or does it run off
to the ocean? Does it transpire through green vegetation, cool the climate
and spread rainfall evenly over the continent? Or does it collect on dust
particles and turn into a hot humid haze that makes it hard to breathe,
trapping larger and larger storms at the coast?

Your individual actions can determine whether huge wildfires, major
flooding, heatwaves and drought, lack of clean water, and the forced
migration that comes from these--all become a distant memory, or a growing
threat.

Whether you are in health care, construction, caring for children, real
estate, finance, an assembly line worker or the president of a corporation,
you may think that the soil around you has little to do with your life. But
after this course
<https://didipershouse.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6075151f49894b2c63289a22a&id=486a31ecb2&e=7906f4d8e3>,
you will never look at the road you drive to work on, and the landscape
that surrounds it in the same way.

"This will be an incredible course. Didi Pershouse is one of the best
educators around.”
— Nicole Masters, Integrity Soils Ltd.
My popular soil sponge intensive course begins tomorrow
Beginning this Wednesday, May 29th, I'll be offering my popular online
course  "Regenerating the Soil Carbon Sponge for Flood, Drought, and
Wildfire Resilience
<https://didipershouse.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6075151f49894b2c63289a22a&id=09bc23053e&e=7906f4d8e3>
."

Join the incredible community of people (farmers, educators, policy folks,
and more) from around the world who have taken this foundation course, and
are using it to work together to shift land management practices, write new
policies, and communicate more effectively with others about what is really
going to get us out of the mess we are currently in.

Walter Jehne's webinar now available on demand
This past Sunday, I hosted a* live Q&A webinar with renowned Australian
soil microbiologist and climate scientist Walter Jehne
<https://didipershouse.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6075151f49894b2c63289a22a&id=72bf28abfb&e=7906f4d8e3>.

We answered questions about the biology and physics of restoring water
cycles for cooling and rehydration of landscapes at local, regional, and
global scales, as well as questions about the soil sponge that underlies
all healthy functional landscapes and water cycles. This webinar is now
available on demand and You can sign up to
