Agroforestry: a short introduction

This short animation shows, in a simple way, how agroforestry is a desirable alternative to intensive monocultures. By combining agriculture and forestry, with the right omix of species and practices, it is possible to protect soil quality and create additional productivity and benefits for the ecosystem and people.

Selah: Water from Stone

A fascinating example of landscape restoration. Almost 50 years ago, David Bamberger used his fortune to purchase 5,500 acres of overgrazed land in the Texas Hill Country. Planting grasses to soak in rains and fill hillside aquifers, Bamberger devoted the rest of his life to restoring the degraded landscape. Today, the land has been restored to its original habitat and boasts enormous biodiversity.
