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”...
🌱 A cutting-edge trial in Harrison, ACT, is turning grassland into climate infrastructure. By rewetting Canberra’s soil sponge, we’re naturally reducing heat and rehydrating the city. Canberra is heating up—but nature has a solution. A new urban cooling trial in...
Walter Jehne’s address to the attendees of Groundswell UK 2024. Regenerate Earth, harnessing nature’s solutions to grow soils, communities and futures. Groundswell is the Regenerative Agriculture Festival Lannock Manor Farm, Hertfordshire, UK The...
As farmers and land managers, this is how we can grow carbon in soils, rebuild the Earth’s soil carbon sponge and manage landscapes to cool the planet. We need to manage towards fungal bio-sequestration, avoiding microbial oxidation and burning. This is the only...
