Soil Health Mini-Course: How Regenerating the Soil Carbon Sponge Can Improve Resilience in Landscapes and Communities

In this 3.5-hour course led by local soil health activist and educator Didi Pershouse, you'll gain an invaluable introduction to systems thinking about landscapes, and learn how a healthy soil carbon sponge can increase resilience for farms, towns, and businesses. Changes in land management can address interconnected issues like flooding, drought, wildfires, human health, and regional temperature shifts--at far less cost than we currently spend on fixing those problems.

Didi Pershouse is the author of The Ecology of Care: Medicine, Agriculture, Money, and the Quiet Power of Human and Microbial Communities and Understanding Soil Health and Watershed Function: A Teacher's Manual. After 22 years of clinical work with patients, she now travels and teaches participatory workshops, helping to connect the dots between soil health, human health, and climate resiliency. She is the president of the Soil Carbon Coalition, and a co-founder of the "Can we Rehydrate California?" Initiative. She was one of five speakers at the United Nations-FAO World Soil Day in 2017.

This course will be held online on Wednesday, October 3, 2018, from 5:30 - 9:00 p.m. EST.
