I took a week long seminar with her about 10 years ago. Every lecture was as mind blowing as this one. The highlight of the seminar, however, was using the microscopes we were required to have, and seeing those fascinating creatures she talks about. This video shows that today she is even sharper and more humorous than she was ten years ago. My suspicion is that she drinks compost tea.

This is such essential information… I’m applying it since 2 years in my little garden seeing beautiful results and can only imagine what would happen if the whole world of agriculture would get these fundamental insights and build systems of food production upon that understanding … one giant step toward paradise, abundance, freedom. Nurturing life’s capacity to take care of itself. Understanding life deeper and deeper and not interfering where it knows how to manage itself!! This topic is just tremendously important to understand and share the knowledge. I’m deeply grateful to this amazing woman who is paving the way for a new and better world with better food for people and healthy ecosystems for all life including humans ❤️ I pray this knowledge will become embedded in our agricultural systems 🙏🏻 thank you Elaine Ingram and all those seeking to live sustainably ❤️

I do not think it will be embedded in our agricultural systems. It is not profitable. abundance is the worst thing that could happen to capitalism. Scarcity is necessary for something to be profitable. killing the soil is a strategy, not a mistake.

Thanks for the video. Excelent work. This is just an FYI, my friend Crafton is a kindred spirit of yours. He was asked if we had to evacuate Earth, and go live on Mars, never to return. And you were only allowed to bring one item that would fit in a box 12 inches square, what would you bring? He answered without a second thought, "A box of the richest, microbe infested, gorgeous topsoil from my garden." Everyone one else shut up, because there just wasn't a better answer than that.

I think there's something that people need to do is take this information into their hands start to work systems such as Terra Preta, in order for the clay pottery to provide oxygen in the biochar to work holding nutrients to be charged. and for the organisms to be able to mine from the clay. This full living system needs to be made correctly.

Thank you Dr. Ingham! That was fantastic and very much more entertaining than I thought from the opening picture. I have tried for years to wrap my head around the correlation between things like nutrient density, PH, beneficial biomass, & organism relationships. There's a lot of reading out there from some people that (just like in all industries) shouldn't be talking! But listening to this lecture put so much into prospective and gave me a clearer picture. I almost had a stroke trying to absorb it all! But it was worth it. Now I gotta go get me a microscope!
