Restoring Soils with (Root Symbiotic) Fungi

This presentation has been created for the Australian Earth Laws Alliance, Green Prints series Our Place - Getting to Know Our Local Bioregion (Sunshine Coast). I describe the creation of soil and the the role of root symbiotic fungi in this process, the importance of soil carbon in soil health, and how soil is a living substance that is rapidly being destroyed by current agricultural practices, specifically by the grazing of livestock. I then explain how we can regenerate soils by inoculating plants with root symbiotic fungi and creating soil conditions that support soil microorganisms.
