The #Indigenous Roots of #RegenerativeAgriculture
“All flourishing is mutual.”
– Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding SweetgrassAugust 9, 2023
"While a new wave of enthusiasm has crested in recent years, regenerative agriculture is an ancient concept that originated with #IndigenousPeoples around the world more than a thousand years ago. In many Indigenous world views, humans and nature are not separate forces, but parts of a whole that need each other to thrive. Regenerative agriculture supports this by promoting farming methods that enrich the land—so it can continue to provide for present and future generations.
"Embracing #TraditionalKnowledge
"Due to the long and horrific history of #StolenLand and #colonization, the Global North often refers to #IndigenousPeoples’ culture and knowledge in the past tense. Yet today, Indigenous peoples are indisputably the best guardians of our world’s most precious #ecosystems. When you take into account that the few remaining Indigenous lands are home to 80 percent of the world’s #Biodiversity, while modern #IndustrialAgriculture is responsible for 80 percent of global #deforestation, it’s clear that Western society still desperately needs to learn what Indigenous people have known for millennia: that human beings must live in a reciprocal relationship with the Earth.
"Around the world, Indigenous peoples have long practiced the key elements of regenerative agriculture. Here are just a few examples:
The art of #agroforestry
Some Indigenous communities, like the #Lenca people in #Honduras, know agroforestry simply as 'traditional technique.' Agroforestry—or the concept of growing crops in a way that mimics the forest and offers shade, protection, and nutrients—is such common practice there is no special name for it.
"Our lead for sustainable forest management, Emmanuelle Bérenger, explains the importance of Indigenous growing methods: 'By using #sustainable practices taught from one generation to another, [Indigenous peoples] actively safeguard forests, preserving biodiversity and keeping a delicate balance essential for both the environment and their own sustenance.' "

Climate change is a serious global problem that is causing the Earth's temperature to rise. The main causes are excessive use of fossil fuels and deforestation. Climate change causes sea levels to rise, extreme weather events such as floods and droughts to occur more frequently, and threatens biodiversity.

(But there’s still more that could be done, Dawe said. She’d like to see the government restrict industrial projects in critical habitat for endangered or threatened species as new laws and policies are being developed.
“A lot of wildlife just can’t handle two more years of a free for all,” she said)https://thenarwhal.ca/bc-chief-ecologist-role

Though a goldmine for the curious botanist, Harewood Plains is also an area under threat — from damage caused by off-road dirt bikes, ATVs and tree poaching — in part because so little is still known about it.
