Quote of the Moment:

“I've continued to recognize the power individuals have to change virtually anything and everything in their lives in an instant. I've learned that the resources we need to turn our dreams into reality are within us, merely waiting for the day when we decide to wake up and claim our birthright.”

SOLAR POWERED LANDSCAPE REVITALIZATION

Engineers have yet to design an implement that can do at least all of the following without toxic emissions:

Cycle carbon in the rangelands
Provide mulch and ground cover
Fertilise
Create edge-effect at both micro and macro environment levels
Stabilize creek banks
Appreciate in value while working 24 hrs a day
Bring light to the growth points of perennial grasses
Distribute seeds in ideal growing environments
Induce the aeration of soils
Prune plants
Produce milk
Supply meat, hide and other products

Our cattle do all of that and more... And best of all, they run on solar energy!

The challenge is to influence the movement of large herbivores in such a way, that the effect mimics what nature achieved in first place, before humans interfered. (Pruning, mulching,fertilising, cycling or sequestrating of carbon)
