Regenerative Land Practices in Colombia and Brazil: talk by Justin West
Ghent, NY
May 7, 2010
The degradation of land and the loss of biodiversity due to human practices are deeply troubling. Buth there are also inspiring examples of how people can mitigate ecological unraveling and loss of biodiversity by weaving principles of ecology and diversity into the food and fuel producing agroecosystems themselves. In 2009, agroecologist Justin West visited Colombia and Brazil, and he will present a photographic journal of some of the most impressive, inspiring, and encouraging fool and agroforestry systems being designed in the tropics today.
