How to Fix a Broken Ecosystem
Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison explains the process for repairing a degraded ecosystem. We begin with the metrics for assessing ecosystem health, and then go over the steps to triggering biological activity and ecological succession. -
Why We Find Rainforests in Unexpected Places
Many of us are familiar with rainforests; lush and exotic environments that serve as the pinnacle of life on Earth. For the most part we assume these only occur throughout the tropics, but as it turns out certain areas in the temperate latitudes can receive just as much rainfall, creating a number of rainforests in unexpected places.

Healing The Earth With Regenerative Farming | Gabe Brown
Did you know due to modern agricultural practices you have to eat eight oranges today to get the same amount of Vitamin A as your grandparents would have gotten from just one?
In this episode of the Sustainability Champions (formerly Sustainability Matters Today) podcast, I interview Gabe Brown, owner of Brown’s ranch and a champion of regenerative farming. Gabe is a producer and winner of many state and national soil health awards, including a Growing Green Award from the Natural Resource Defense Council, and a Zero-Till Producer of the Year Award.
In addition, he was named one of the 25 Most influential Agricultural Leaders in the United States. Gabe recently published, “Dirt to Soil: One Family’s Journey Into Regenerative Agriculture”, where he shares the story of healing his farm’s soil and paves the road for other farmers to follow in his footsteps.
Check out Gabe Brown's book Dirt to Soil here: https://sustainchamp.in/dirt-to-soil
Please make sure to subscribe to the Sustainability Champions podcast to learn more about Gabe Brown and other champions of sustainability. I hope you enjoy this episode!
