SUMMARY:Exploring Small Water Cycles: Expanding the Climate Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Didi Pershouse presents an entirely new view of water\, soils\, and climate. You will learn how the living matrix of a “soil sponge” is foundational to making life on earth possible\, and how the work of other species creates our climate and weather. \n\n\n\nWe can address many of our major challenges in the agricultural sector through simple changes in land management\, in collaboration with the essential workforce of plants\, animals\, insects\, fungi\, and microbes. Managing land in ways that restore nature’s soil sponge and diverse vegetation can provide many interrelated benefits such as: increased resilience to flood and drought\, reduction of wildfire risk\, and increased habitat and biodiversity. It can also result in healthier crops\, animals\, and humans\, and thriving local economies. \n\n\n\n\nEvent Presenter(s)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDidi Pershouse\n\n\n\nDidi Pershouse is the author of  The Ecology of Care: Medicine\, Agriculture\, Money\, and the Quiet Power of Human and Microbial Communities and Understanding Soil Health and Watershed Function. She teaches participatory workshops both in person and online\, helping to show the nested relationships between soil health\, human health\, water cycles\, and climate resiliency.  She is the founder of the Land and Leadership Initiative and the Center for Sustainable Medicine\, and a co-founder of the “Can we Rehydrate California?” Initiative. She is an independent trainer and curriculum developer for the UN-FAO Farmer Field School Program and the Andhra Pradesh Community Managed Natural Farming Initiative in India. She was one of five speakers at the United Nations-FAO World Soil Day in 2017. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar recording\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExploring Small Water Cycles: Expanding the Climate Conversation\n\n\n\nLinks to works cited in the webinar: \n\n\n\n\nThe Ecology of Care: Medicine\, Agriculture\, Money\, and the Quiet Power of Human and Microbial Communities\, by Didi Pershouse \n\n\n\nHealth and Watershed Function\n\n\n\nLand and Leadership Initiative\n\n\n\n “Can we Rehydrate California?” Initiative  \n\n\n\n2017 United Nations-FAO World Soil Day\n\n\n\n\nVisit our NFUniversity playlist on our Youtube channel to see a complete list of our NFUniversity recorded webinars.
