[BCFSN] soil regeneration, and humans as megaherbivores?

[Pamela Zevit]

Two from Anthropocene.

"Can humans be more like woolly mammoths? . But might another story yet be written - of how people
can replicate the life-nourishing impacts of megaherbivores? Is it possible for us to enrich the
world in ways woolly mammoths and giant sloths once did? It's worth trying."

Regenerating soil can double corn farmers' incomes. "By considering not just the health of the
environment but the profits of farmers, too, the study shares a particularly hopeful vision for the
future. And, what's even more hopeful is that regenerative farming is already happening on fields
around the planet."

The word Adamah is rooted in the Hebrew language (Adam - man, Adamah - earth) and is interpreted as
the "land from which man was made".  At its roots lies the recognition of our species intrinsic
connection to the earth and the inherent responsibility to protect and sustain it.
