Natural Farming Metrics – Methods for Measuring the soil sponge. Intro to the field-method toolkit. We’ve been building a set of field methods for measuring whether regenerative land management actually changes the things that matter — how land holds...
Water is the first of the critical Earth systems. Without it, no life. With it mismanaged, no agriculture. And yet on most farms, we have no idea what happens to the rain when it falls. A storm passes. The grass looks greener. The dam fills, or it doesn’t. The...
We’ve spent decades talking about carbon — how much we emit, how much we need to cut. That conversation matters, but it is not the whole story. For over four billion years, water has been running Earth’s climate system, cycling through evaporation,...
Part of the solution to Australia’s intensifying heat waves might be right under our feet. Not in tech or infrastructure, but in how we manage our urban grasslands. Australia faces increasing urban heat stress Aircon cooling approaches are energy-intensive and costly...
A groundbreaking 24-month trial is underway in Harrison to naturally cool Canberra’s urban heat using an innovative approach inspired by successful Finnish experiments, with the support of the ACT Government. The “Rewetting Our Urban Soil Sponge”...
