Dear Seth,
If you didn't have a chance to watch the Soil4Climate webinar with regenerative grazing hero, Gabe Brown, and Kiss The Ground movie and Common Ground movie filmmakers, Josh Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell, please enjoy the recording at the link here.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/Soil4Climate/posts/4155383541400035/ One of the things we discussed was whether or not Gabe Brown was, indeed, a superhero. Needless to say, the opinion was unanimous (of course, Gabe wasn't having any of it). And if you love Gabe, please help superheroes like him in East Africa who are bringing regenerative grazing and cropping to their communities. Even a small donation has a large impact. Also, a donation of $100 or more entitles you to a free Soil4Climate hat (made of organic cotton and hemp). https://soil4climate.networkforgood.com/ As a reminder, Soil4Climate is one of the foremost organizations advancing the science, practices, and policies of soil restoration as a climate solution.
In addition to elevating the voices of leading farmers and scientists, we are creating change on the ground and in the hallways of higher learning. Examples of our commitment to these causes include enabling regenerative grazing and cropping in East Africa, and publishing a compendium of peer-reviewed scientific papers on the soil and climate benefits of well-managed grazing. To restore billions of acres of degraded land worldwide and remove billions of tons of excess carbon from the atmosphere, regenerative agriculture must be widely adopted as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance for your engagement and support. With love for soil, food security, and climate resilience, |

| Regenerative Grazing, Kajiado, Kenya
The Maasai Lands Restoration Project implements resilient grazing practices on Maasai lands in the Kajiado District of Kenya to help families restore soil and improve nutrition. This effort is managed by Dalmas Tiampati, who, with funding from Soil4Climate, received training in Holistic Management from the Mara Training Center, a Savory Institute Hub located in Kenya.

| Permaculture, Siaya, Kenya
Mabinju Power House Youth Group provides agroforestry training and services for up to 50 families in the Siaya District of Kenya. Soil4Climate donations have enabled the purchase of gardening supplies, seedlings, and a dairy cow which is producing four liters of milk per day. This effort is managed by Geoffrey Ouma.

| Regenerative Grazing & Relief, Emboreet, Tanzania
Enkop Naboo Organization - Soil4Climate provided emergency food relief to herders in the Tanzanian village of Emboreet, who lost many animals to starvation during the recent drought in East Africa. Post drought, Soil4Climate donations helped with the purchase of cows and sheep. Training in Holistic Management will follow. This project is managed by N’ding’a Ndikon Orkeyaroi.

👉 A donation of $25 makes possible the purchase of much-needed supplies, such as watering cans and potting bags, to enable community permaculture (e.g., $5 buys a 10-liter watering can).
👉 A donation of $300 buys a cow that can be integrated into a holistically managed herd (a mom cow can produce 2.5 to 5 liters of milk per day, helping to nourish up to 10 families).
👉 A donation of $500 leases 500 acres of grazable land for a month (this cost is far below market rates, and this offer is available only to like-minded community members).
👉 A donation of $3,000 purchases a small herd of cows that will be named in your honor. This herd will be integrated into a regenerative grazing regimen.
👉 For donations of $100 or more, US residents will receive a free Soil4Climate hat as a token of our appreciation. Donors in other countries will receive a free Soil4Climate hat with a gift of $125 or more. |
