Mark Shepard: Introduction to Restoration Agriculture | SNC 2018
Channel: Bionutrient Food Association
Date: 2019-02-10

https://soilandnutrition.org In this workshop, Mark will explain the basic ecological principles behind a truly restorative agriculture and how to mimic these principles in the production of agricultural crops. The mimicry of ecological principles will then be introduced from how soil is created in the first place, to ecological succession through time, natural plant communities as an ecological model for agriculture, mimicking "disturbance," the role of animals in ecological systems, and the role of "mass-selection" breeding in plants and animals.
