Crash Course Chemistry Organic — To understand regenerative agriculture, you really have to go one step deeper and understand what is going on at the molecular level. This entertaining series of courses present the organic chemistry behind what’s really going on in plants, in the world and in us, but at a molecular level. It is ideal and entertaining for people who left school a long time ago and want to learn something in 15-minute segments while doing yoga or having that first morning coffee. It explains the organic compounds in the ground, in the air and water and in our guts, and how do they make life work? How does photosynthesis produce all the energy on our planet without which we wouldn’t exist? How and why do elements bond and form things like molecules, amino acids, proteins, enzymes, sugars, carbohydrates and fats, not to mention nucleic acids? The link is to a YouTube playlist of fifty 10-15-minute presentations on Organic Chemistry – Intro, Biological Molecules, the Periodic Table, Photosynthesis, Carbon, Water, the Global Carbon Cycle, Chemical Bonds, Polar and non-Polar attraction, etc.
String quartet performs for an audience of plants in the Barcelona Opera House — The most enthralling concept, if you are a musician, might just be that electrons (which are waves) in every molecule want to be in a complete series of eight in their outer orbital at which point they passively become a complete stable molecule. Eight harmonic electrons, or waves, in their outer orbital gives them the complete vibe. Do plants and we like music, or complete silence, or mantras for this harmonic reason? Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do?

The Degradation of the Earth and Two Ways It’s Being Restored; Regenerative Agriculture and Rewilding
The mission of Project Drawdown is to help the world reach “Drawdown” - the point in the future when greenhouse gases stop climbing and start to steadily decline, thereby stopping catastrophic climate change - as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible. Here are researched solutions and further sources.
NASA provides facts about Global Climate Change and The Plant’s Vital Signs - Carbon Dioxide cycle and global warming, the evidence, causes and effects.
Amazing Carbon - When I came across the website amazingcarbon.com I was fascinated. Christine Jones, a Soil Scientist developed the website to help others understand the critical role that carbon plays in ecosystem function, particularly underground.
Integrity Soils is Nicole Master’s site. It is a useful source of strategies to regenerate our food production systems.

Knepp Re-Wilding, England - Knepp is a 3,500-acre estate in West Sussex. Since 2001, the land – once intensively farmed - has been devoted to a pioneering rewilding project.
Rewilding Europe is a pan-European initiative at the frontline of rewilding on a European scale. The rewilding process in Europe is gaining momentum and, if you are reading this, you like us are part of a building desire and force to make Europe a wilder place, with more space for wildlife and natural processes. Wild nature is a fundamental part of Europe’s heritage and is an essential element in a modern, prosperous and healthy society. Rewilding Europe has already rewilded landscapes in at least 10 different regions across Europe. These will demonstrate how Rewilding Europe’s vision can be put into practice on a far larger scale.
