Description

Join me for a conversation with Peter Byck exploring the incredible opportunity that land offers to us as a tool for re-balancing the climate.Peter is the director of the four part documentary series Roots So Deep (You Can See The Devil Down There)There's a huge contrast that we often talk about on this show; how regenerative farming can tip all the detriments of conventional practises on their head and actually turn agriculture into one of the biggest healing tools for the planet.And this is why I'm so incredibly excited about the work that Peter has been part of. He's been working with a team of pioneering scientists who have conducted research to compare the outcomes of regenerative cattle grazing directly with their conventional farming neighbours.It's an extensive multi-discipline project bringing a whole systems look and putting data behind the claims. And the results are in! Find a video version of this episode on the website: https://www.wearecarbon.earth/peter-byck-roots-so-deep/For a further breakdown of this discussion see the timestamps below:00:00:00 - Intro00:04:42 - Climate solution discovery journey00:12:36 - Break down of the science for Roots So Deep00:19:23 - AMP Grazing; easier for the farmers?00:27:22 - The far reaching connections from how we farm00:29:33 - The game of knowledge sharing00:36:00 - What's next?

We Are Carbon is the interview show that helps us to recognise that the future of both our planet and our societies can be incredibly beautiful - and that we all play a role in getting there! There's a new episode every Thursday, and they'll average 1 hr long. We see endless headlines warning us of the horrific impact that we're having on the climate and how dire the outlook is, but we're going to re-frame this crisis and start putting the solutions into our own hands. I'm inviting in voices from science, agriculture, business and more, to help us gain an understanding of how we might live in greater harmony with the world around us. How we can build a society where our everyday choices have a positive impact on regenerating and stabilising the planet that we depend upon. Because when the planet and nature are thriving; that's when we can thrive! That's when we can live in a world less focused on fear and restrictions. I don't think that real solutions are ever found until we zoom out, see the full picture and recognise how it all connects together. We can't view climate change as an isolated issue. Our health, our food security, stability of economies and the way we interact with one another, they're are all tied in. The topics can seem expansive, so we're using carbon as a focus. We're exploring some important, and at times complex subjects here. But the whole point is to make this info accessible and transparent to us all. So let me know if there's ever anything that you'd like breaking down or exploring further. Or if there's related topics that you feel should be discussed. Reach out and let's keep this project expanding! And if you're a visual learner, look out for the animations! I'm creating short digestible videos to illustrate some of the key concepts that we're exploring.
