Excellent post. This example of regenerative ag might be the largest and most dramatic that I know of. The documentary itself should have been half this length, at the most though. Painfully slow.

BONN (Reuters) – U.N. climate talks have moved backward rather than forward towards a hoped-for deal later this year as nations make slow progress on pledges to cut greenhouse gas emissions and add more proposals to the working document: http://nz.news.yahoo.com/a/-/world/7723491/u-n-climate-deal-retreats-as-bonn-talks-end/

Here is the generative code for integrating sloped terraces into the landscape: http://www.livingneighborhoods.org/ht-0/morphogenesis-two.htm

Always remember this first rule; every structure must be generated, not fabricated!

Thanks Craig for sharing this. Very inspiring at the same time while watching the documentary I cannot help thinking about the World Bank’s involvement in this project. It is this same organisation that is funding major dams all over China and the world, and other destructive projects in third world countries. And I hope those corns and crops are not GMO and supplied to them by Monsanto and the likes.

It would be very sad to rehabilitate the area and then grow monoculture GMO crops. The cycle of poverty will return, eventually.

Cheers – Zainil
