How we manage, exploit and protect our land has always had fundamental implications for our civilisation. In this keynote address, soil scientist Johannes Lehmann looks at sustainable agriculture and green approaches to farming.
This video was part of a Carbon Down on the Farm in Bendigo, which included a panel discussion and a demonstration of the electric ute used to pull the Agroplow AD Hybrid disc drill.
Tip: In your comment, you can link to a particular point in the video like this: 0m30s for the 30th second, or 4m18s for 4 minutes and 18 seconds in.
As one awfully carbon-thirsty Lehmann hits the dust [Yes the banking Bros. of the GFC fame] another rises like a phoenix from that dust - an incredibly important cog in the wheel of answers to the climate problem. As well as the beginnings of a solution to the problem of weening agriculture from its huge reliance on synthetic fertilisers and pesticides. I hope Johannes Lehmann's presentation is broadcast far and wide.
