@soilhealthacademy: A conservation organization admitting the money hasn’t worked is worth listening to. Mae Petrehn, grazing biologist with Ducks Unlimited, on water quality in the Midwest and the Corn Belt: this country has been spending on conservation programs for a long time, and the system still doesn’t reflect the resources that went into it. Water quality problems remain. Habitat loss for waterfowl, grassland nesting birds, pollinators remains. DU’s response was to take a hard look at soil health. The reframe her colleagues landed on is that the problem was never really habitat loss on its own. It’s the loss of ecological function, and soil health is ecological function. That’s why a duck organization has grazing biologists working alongside ranchers on profit and habitat in the same plan. #SoilHealth #RegenerativeAgriculture #Grazing #Conservation #DucksUnlimited
