More on the speakers:
Walter Jehne is an internationally recognized climate scientist, soil
microbiologist and innovation strategist. He has field and research experience
in forests, grasslands, agriculture and soils at national (CSIRO) and
international (UN) levels. Walter’s scientific work has focused on soil
biology, plant root ecology, mycorrhizal fungi, glomalin, soil-carbon
formation, as well as on biology's enormous influence on hydrological cycles,
weather patterns, regional and global cooling, air quality, and cloud formation
and precipitation. He has a remarkable ability to explain complex systems in
easy to understand ways.
Walter has worked more broadly beyond science, at Federal Government level,
leading transformation in industry and policy. This diversity of experience has
given Walter a unique and exceptional capacity to devise multi-stakeholder
win-win strategies – turning challenges into opportunities. This year he was
part of an invitation-only UN-FAO conference in Paris looking at bringing soil
into the next IPCC report.

sessions and talks on YouTube using "Walter Jehne soil sponge".
Didi Pershouse is the author of The Ecology of Care: medicine, agriculture,
money, and the quiet power of human and microbial communities
<https://www.amazon.com/Ecology-Care-Agriculture-Microbial-Communities/dp/069261303X/>
as well as Understanding Soil Health and Watershed Function
<http://soilcarboncoalition.org/learn>. As the founder of the Center for
Sustainable Medicine, she developed a practice and theoretical framework for
systems-based ecological medicine—restoring health to people as well as the
environmental and social systems around them.
After 22 years of clinical work with patients, Pershouse now travels widely.
Her workshops and talks engage farmers, schools, and watershed groups across
the US in opportunities to improve soil health, public health, and climate
resiliency through changes in land management. She is board chair of the
non-profit Soil Carbon Coalition. You can learn more about her work at
