Coffee and geo-transparency with Breece Robertson

Épisode 5

mercredi 22 novembre 2023 • Durée 54:50

We guarantee an informal yet highly interesting talk for your morning, afternoon, or evening coffee (or tea if that's your kind of cup).

Breece has a lot of exciting stories to tell!

Breece Robertson has more than 20 years of experience leading collaborative and strategic initiatives that leverage geospatial technologies for land, water, equity, and climate issues. She is a master of community-driven GIS approaches for strategic land protection.

Breece currently holds the position of Director of Impact Assessment and Monitoring at One Tree Planted, a global environmental restoration and reforestation organization. She is the author of the book "Protecting the Places We Love: Conservation Strategies for Entrusted Lands and Parks":

From 2001 - 2019, Breece led GIS, research, and planning teams at The Trust for Public Land that protected 3,000+ places and saved 2+ million acres of land, while serving over 9 million people.

Esri, the world’s leader in geographic information system (GIS) technology, has honored Breece twice for innovation in helping communities meet park and conservation goals. In 2006, she was awarded the Esri Special Achievement in GIS award, and in 2012, the “Making a Difference” award.

Breece loves exploring remote Southwest canyons, hiking tall mountains, foraging for mushrooms, snorkeling with marine life, and playing the mandolin. She has two awesome pups and a wonderful partner.

Food forests feed and store carbon

Épisode 4

mardi 2 mars 2021 • Durée 50:31

Paul Burgers, Ph.D.

In this episode, Food forests feed and store carbon Paul Burgers the Founder and CEO of CO2 Operate B.V. and Gula Gula, will explain and share his experiences of what it takes to build up and scale a community-driven agro-forest project.

Email: p.burgers@co2operate.nl

Projects: https://explorer.land/x/organization/co2/

Website: https://gulagula.org/

LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/burgerspaul/

About

In the Interview, Paul will describe how carbon credits bring in the necessary funding to kick-start the on the ground planting activities while growing cash crops such as coffee, cinnamon, and clove build in the long-term revenue component for the farmers.

We will learn what are the practical steps of establishing a sustainable food forest that can take up also a lot of carbon:

finding a fair agreement with the local farmers
developing cost-effective establishment and maintenance methods such as Assisted Natura Regeneration methods
integrating the valuable local knowledge of the farmers
establishment of nurseries close to the planting sites
etc.

Further, we hear what has inspired and motivated Paul to end his classical scientific career and to move into active project development with more action research. His new work has enabled him to give back findings and results from research and implement them for a positive impact. We learn, that developing such a project in a developing context requires cultural sensitivity and understanding of local social structures to enable a smooth operation. We learn that challenges, even such as corruption, lack of leadership, and poor tree survival rates, can become lessons to learn from.

We warmly welcome you to listen to this inspirational and insightful episode!

How to grow your own forest

Épisode 3

vendredi 24 avril 2020 • Durée 57:31

About

In this Forest Landscape Stories episode, we will learn about the afforestation method developed by Dr. Miyawaki, a Japanese botanist and expert in plant ecology and natural forests. His method results in maintenance-free, wild, and native forests. These forests grow in cities, along roads, around buildings, and in our own gardens. They even grow on very degraded land, under extreme conditions.

We will learn about the six-step process that everyone can employ to grow a forest.

Check out the Open Source guide on how to Do-It-Yourself

Video tutorials on how to make your own forest will be available soon. You can follow the related Kickstarter page here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shubzsharma/video-tutorials-to-make-your-own-forest/description

Shubhendu Sharma

This episode’s guest is Shubhendu Sharma. Shubhendu started his career as an engineer with Toyota. A forest planting seminar by Dr. Miyawaki inspired Shubhendu to establish his own social tree planting company, Afforestt, in 2011. Besides being a successful entrepreneur who has planted over 130 forests in 10 countries, Shubhendu inspired the worldwide afforestation community with his TED talks.

What we learnAbout Forest Landscape Stories

Bamboo for landscape restoration

Épisode 2

vendredi 10 mai 2019 • Durée 55:00

Facts about Bamboo

There are around 30 million hectares of bamboo in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. It is one of the fastest growing plants on earth. Certain species can grow up to 1-meter a day. Even though some Bamboo species grow very tall like trees, Bamboo belongs to the grass family.

Bamboo and Rattan can contribute to livelihoods in many ways; providing food, fiber, and fuel which provide the basis for thousands of different products. The Bamboo sector is estimated to be worth 60 billion USD a year.

Topics covered
In this episode, Brian discusses the potential for further development of the Bamboo and Rattan production as a means to forest landscape restoration and local income generation.

We learn about Brian’s inspiring work and how he has adopted a multidisciplinary skill set which is critical to his role at INBAR and useful when considering the further development of the Bamboo and Rattan sector.

Brian will give us an overview of the variety of products which can be made from Bamboo and Rattan and put a focus on recent innovations and high-tech products.
Besides the unquestionable positive contributions of Bamboo, we will also discuss the downsides, e.g. the growing of Bamboo in large monocultures and the role certification can play in improving sustainable production and post-production.

Finally, we will learn more about exemplary and successful sustainable Bamboo-based landscape restoration initiatives which present useful models of how to scale sustainable Bamboo production whilst having a positive impact on forest landscapes and livelihoods.

From a cattle ranch to agroforestry

Épisode 1

Background of Izabal Agro-Forest

Interactive project exploration at explorer.land

Izabal Agro-Forest, S.A. (IAF) is an award-winning farm and timberland management company headquartered in Guatemala.

in 1989 IAF started establishing its first production forests. They started with rubber and teak. 3 years later in 1992 IAF has increased the number of tree species and also planted and managed threatened species like Rosewood, Mahogany, Tropical Cedar and Zebrawood.

In recent years IAF has strengthened its agroforestry component by also integrating fine-flavor cacao, vanilla, coconut, and avocado. But they did not stop there. In addition, they manage trials of flowering and aromatic species grown for distillation and the production of very valuable essential oils.

In 2003 this innovative plantation received the Guatemalan National Forestry Institute Award for the best hardwood plantation. And 2007 the plantation received FSC “smartwood” certification. In 2014 it was recognized by the International Timber and Trade Organization (ITTO) as one of the best plantations in Guatemala.
IAF as a company has grown beyond its own farm. Today, it is serving institutional and private clients in developing and managing bio-diverse forest and agroforest farms on their behalf.
