Humans often “speak to” nature, as when we assume a dominant attitude and expect to be able to “improve” upon nature with technological solutions to perceived (or real) problems….
Terra Cognita
Here’s an idea: employ a farming or ranching practice that is known scientifically to increase levels of glomalin and get compensated financially!
The Carbon Ranch
The purpose of a carbon ranch is to mitigate climate change by sequestering CO2 in plants and soils, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and producing co-benefits that build ecological and economic resilience in local landscapes.
The New Ranch
Fortunately, a growing number of ranchers…are embracing a cluster of new ideas and methods, often with the happy result of increased profits, restored land health, and repaired relationships with others.
Where Do We Find Beauty in a Landscape?
