On a special episode of The Cultivo Podcast, Cultivo co-founder and CEO Manuel Piñuela speaks with Mark Tercek, former CEO of The Nature Conservancy, current Cultivo Board Member, and landscape regeneration luminary, about the concept of “nature as infrastructure,” and the many services healthy ecosystems provide.

Manuel and Mark also discuss:

• The countless ecosystem benefits healthy landscapes provide society.
• How investment in natural infrastructure – like watersheds, forests, and grasslands – often benefits rural economies.
• How investing in natural infrastructure is often the smartest and most cost effective move governments and businesses can make.
• How ascribing financial value to nature helps bring support from people and organizations who might not have otherwise supported regeneration and conservation efforts. 
• And much, much more.

Healthy soil, healthy planet.

On the latest episode of The Cultivo Podcast, host Sean Leslie speaks with soil scientist Mary Cvetkovic-Jones, PhD, about the importance of healthy soil, and the carbon sequestration and other ecosystem services provided by grasslands, landscapes that account for 40% of the world’s terrestrial surface.

Mary explains:

• Why a healthy planet depends on healthy soil.
• Soil’s ability to pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and “lock” it into organic matter.
• Why grasslands are often overlooked when it comes to carbon sequestration.
• How rotational grazing practices can improve the health of grassland ecosystems.
• And much, much more.
