ReGenerative Grazing: A Soil, Climate, and Livelihoods Solution.

Please join Soil4Climate and 4p1000 for a collaborative presentation that looks at the science, practices and policies of regenerative grazing. This presentation gives particular attention to grasslands, soils, and agriculturally-dependent communities.

Panelists included Soil4Climate Advisor Dr. David C. Johnson (Science: soil, climate), Precious Phiri (Practice: livelihoods), Dr. Leigh Ann Winowiecki (Policy: soil health pledge, Nationally Determined Contributions) and the panel was moderated by Seth Itzkan (environmental futurist and Soil4Climate co-founder).

Keepers of the Thermostat: How Farmers & Ranchers can be Climate Heroes - Groundswell 2022

In this session, Itzkan will discuss how, over tens of millions of years, grasslands have acted as a literal “thermostat” of the climate, keeping the temperature of the planet relatively steady despite multiple opportunities for it to run to extremes — becoming either an “Ice House Earth” such as Mars, or a “Hot House Earth” such as Venus. Neither scenario happened; the reason why is because of grasslands’ extraordinary ability to regulate carbon flows between the atmosphere and the soil. Starting from this historical perspective, Itzkan will present the science on carbon drawdown in soils via regenerative grazing and cropping.

Voiz Interview with John Roulac- Founder of Nutiva & Executive Producer of Kiss the Ground & Seth Itzkan- Co-Founder of Soil4Climate

We are at a critical moment in human history and there could be a way to eat food that heals the planet. We call this “The regenerative diet”. The finale of the food summit discusses the need for the move to regenerative agriculture. We delve into how veganism can have negative impacts on soil health. The discussion will include the specifics behind John Roulac and Seth Itzkans motivations and reasonings for their line of work and go into depth about regenerative agriculture and Kiss the Ground documentary. Speakers: John Roulac- Founder of Nutiva & Executive Producer of Kiss the Ground Seth Itzkan- Co-Founder of Soil4Climate Voiz is a collective of college students with a joint drive towards sustainability. We believe everyone should understand and know the impact they have with every single purchase they make.
