I had a fascinating time teaching and filming in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Riyadh is the fastest growing city in the Middle East with the most ambitious tree planting and land restoration plans of any country I have seen. I was really glad to infuse some Permaculture into the process

youtube.com/watch?v=24uCCr… @AndrewMillison Love the illustrations Andrew creates and the deep ancient wisdom showcased in this video. Now that we're finally shaking off the weird elitist corporate American chains. Thanks to the survivors and the rocks their parents placed.

@SgtPyroman @deepmedicinecir Yeah, it looks like their website is compromised. That's too bad. FYI, I am not good about keeping up with every comment or mention on social media platforms. I travel a lot and stay focused on projects. So please don't take it personally. We're in this together

Hey @AndrewMillison, your recent video with @deepmedicinecir & Top Leaf Farms was amazing, thank you for sharing one of the best urban examples of a well-executed passion project! What a labor of love! Top Leaf Farms' website doesn't load for me. Do you have other contact info?

@SgtPyroman @deepmedicinecir Wow, I didn't know anyone still listened to my old podcast. The last upload was 4 years ago. I'm glad you are enjoying it. I never enabled comments there because I did not have the bandwidth to monitor them. My YouTube comments are enabled, but too many for me to keep up with

Thanks @WFP_Chad for hosting me to visit your powerful work bringing resilience to the over 1 million refugees from the Sudan war. It was a life changing experience to see how land repair can help people recover their livelihoods and dignity while building food security
WFP_Chad@WFP_Chad

Prof. @AndrewMillison was in #Chad a few months ago to discover @WFP's mission to ensure food security for Chadians & refugees at the #Sudan border. Follow his journey & find out more about @WFP_Chad humanitarian response in this amazing new video👇 🎦youtube.com/watch?v=jfiH9T…

@semillasdon Also shows the power of a good piece of footage. No one has yet equalled that shot from John D Liu to demonstrate land regeneration in one swoop

@AndrewMillison I noticed that too! I guess we just need more good examples here in the US so they don’t have to go to other countries to find good restorative agricultural practices

RFK Jr. breaks down the MAHA plan to reform USDA in 2 minutes: “We’re going to give farmers an off-ramp from the current system that destroys their health, wrecks the soil, makes Americans sick, and destroys family farms.” 1. “We’re going to REWRITE the regulations to give smaller operators a break.” 2. “We’re going to encourage sustainable regenerative farming that can build soil and replenish aquifers.” 3. “We’re going to BAN the worst agricultural chemicals that are already prohibited in other countries, and we’re going to remove conflicts of interest from the USDA dietary panels and commissions.”

@NealSpackman That's a sad testimony to the myth of carbon credits as an effective stimulus for land regeneration. Sorry you had to learn the hard way. I was shocked by the negativity towards carbon credits when I published this video. The public trust is low: youtu.be/b4csIdPZxsg?si…

5 years ago i inadvertently became a blue carbon developer--only to learn since that as a lever for ecosystem restoration it's quite limited. Link in the reply:

Nice to see my reporting on the massive restoration of the Sahel getting picked up by @Upworthy. If you haven't heard, check it out: 'Forgotten' water harvesting system transforms 'barren wasteland' into thriving farmland upworthy.com/forgotten-half…

🌱 Witness ecosystem restoration in action. These WFP-supported communities across the #Sahel are transforming barren lands into fertile fields and carbon sinks. Watch with @AndrewMillison ⤵️

There's a shocking amount of progress for massive-scale land restoration in the African Sahel. I went with the UN to see it for myself. Here's the (first) video: Inside Africa's Food Forest Mega-Project youtu.be/xbBdIG--b58?si… via @YouTube

@PhoenixTowns I believe what you say is true but we ALSO have a CO2 problem. I don't know who's done the math but if the world's agricultural soils went up to 10% organic matter and billions of acres of degraded land revegetated, we'd be well on our way to planetary balance

@AndrewMillison 5. We don't have a Co2 problem. We have a deforestation, desertification, and industrial agriculture problem, and that is IT completely. Solve those three things. Put all your resources to fixing it. The rest will be fixed on its own. Rant over. Love you @AndrewMillison

I'm am officially "very suspicious" that there is a wave of bots commenting on my YouTube videos about how more CO2 is good for the planet. It's either bots or there is a new strong public narrative about that. Where is this coming from? Oil companies? Something is afoot.

@lucasgonzalez Excellent question. I don't know the answer but I do know the right people to ask. Ethiopia fully restored about 6 million ha and that can be quantified to extrapolate larger numbers. If the funds were there, the bottleneck would be skilled practitioners. Niger is at 300k ha.

What the last 3 weeks in the African Sahel has taught me is that broad scale degraded landscapes can be rapidly transformed into productive ecosystems with surprisingly little investment. Restoring the 2 billion ha of degraded land on Earth will go far to stabilize climate chaos

@lucasgonzalez You'll have to wait for the video series for all the juicy details! In short, timescale depends on rainfall and soils, and cost varies due to complexity and community initiative.
