Biomimicry: Emulating Nature & Improving Soil Function | Ray Archuleta

Ray Archuleta explains that regenerative cropping and grazing systems that emulate nature’s strategies (biomimicry) are healthier agro-ecosystems that self-heal, self-regulate and self-organize. ✅ Stay up to date with the Soil Food Web School 👉 https://www.sfw.one/newsletter-youtube He also explained how these healthy ecosystems can potentially eliminate the need for pesticides and man-made fertilizers.

The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focussing on the soil biome. This can boost the productivity of farms, provide super-nutritious foods, protect and purify waterways, and reduce the effects of Climate Change. No background in farming or biology is required for our Foundation Courses. Classes are online & self-paced, and students are supported by highly-trained Soil Food Web School mentors. Over the last four decades, Dr. Elaine Ingham has advanced our knowledge of the Soil Food Web. An internationally-recognized leader in soil microbiology, Dr. Ingham has collaborated with other scientists and with farmers around the world to further our understanding of how soil organisms work together and with plants. Dr. Ingham is an author of the USDA's Soil Biology Primer and a founder of the Soil Food Web School. 00:00 Ray Archuleta Introduction 02:34 3 Basic Concepts of Biomimicry 24:06 Jason Miller Case Study 43:03 Mimic Nature’s Grazing Patterns 50:39 Final Thoughts #Biomimicry #SoilFunction #RayArchuleta
