An Uncertain World: How Will it Drive Food System (R)evolution? - Groundswell 2024
Speaker: Tim Benton
The world is increasingly an uncertain place: climate volatility is interacting with politics to create a more polarised, contested and unequal world, both domestically and internationally. This uncertainty affects the market and regulatory drivers of the UK food system, and how they might enhance, or hold back, a transition to a more sustainable future. How might the food system develop in the decades ahead?

    The parts of this presentation that show growers coming to terms with what they’ve been doing and then facing up to the need for change, which can be very daunting, are hugely powerful. It’s a bit like realising that how you’ve lived your life and brought your kids up has been heading in a wrong direction and that you’ve actually ended up, in some important aspects, doing the opposite of what you thought was right. As a farmer myself, I know this feeling. Credit to all involved in this film for their honesty and basic decency👏

    Снижение давления в шинах - частичное снижение их влияния на пористость почвы. Фермеру приходится выполнять работу на поле и в условиях повышенной влажности почвы, что существенно снижает пористость почвы даже при уменьшения давлениях в шинах! В но-тилле выход есть. Это переход на постоянные большие полевые гряды - все машины должны двигаться только по одной колее! Кроме того, следует полностью отказаться от дисковых сошников! Они также существенно уменьшают пористость почвы. В результате корневая система имеет форму "ирокеза"! Reducing tire pressure is a partial reduction in their effect on soil porosity. The farmer has to work in the field and in conditions of high soil moisture, which significantly reduces soil porosity even with reduced tire pressure! There is a way out in no-till. This is a transition to permanent large field ridges - all cars must move on only one track! In addition, disc coulters should be completely abandoned! They also significantly reduce soil porosity. As a result, the root system has a “Mohawk” shape!

    The confluence of two factors makes Regen farming at scale relatively simple to achieve. The expanding influence of the carnivore diet (optimally set at only consuming fatty ruminant meat, salt and water: for some and eventually most as old attitudes towards food die out) and the gentle nature of pastoral use of arable land should see (a) billions of acres returned to wildlife and recreation, (b) restoration of entire ecosystems (where possible), (c) clean water rivers and lakes, and (d) drought-proofing the little bit that remains for human use. However the best place to raise hearty, common sense kids is on a farm so many smaller farms are better for society.

    If you couple restorative ag (over more general regenerative ag) with hyperlocalized earthworks to harvest rainwater, --we can increase the amount of land that sequesters carbon. These earthworks would reduce muddy water washing carbon/topsoil to the ocean, instead being carbon sinks. They would also increase regreening and further draw down carbon in areas long historically lost to overdrying conditions. This increases the area of carbon sequestration. Rainwater harvesting earthworks can be made just about anywhere, including cities in the form of bioswales. Bioswales are planted depressions using native or other biome appropriate plants that allow water to quickly soak excess rainwater runoff. They may have curbcuts and harvest streetwater, or handle roof runoff, etc. They can accumulate windblown trash for easy collection, add beauty, sense of place; reduce ambient temperatures; reduce paving buckling, ground subsidence, brownouts (because irrigation draws a lot of energy to pump it), crime; increases walkability/bikeability; reduce home cooling and heating costs; reduce heat island effects; irrigation costs; reduces flooding, drought and heatwave impacts; etc. Parking lot landscaping can easily convert existing landscaping to bioswales to reduce infrastructure expansion costs as well as maintenance costs. It's win-win-win...

      CO₂ is not the GHG some (less honest) humans want it to be. 2. To get cleaner open water (rivers, lakes), restore water tables, resist drought, etc. farmers et.al. create armoured, aggregated soil that soak up rain where it fell at very high infiltration rates. 3. Swales can create downstream springs which weren't there before when that land was selected for other uses, oops. You need to think deeper grasshopper. Start by proving a trace gas @ .042%, Spec.Grav 1.5, has any part in Earth's climate except to indicate an Ice age has _officially_ ended. Like the scientists do.
