Power on the ground!

Integral ecological regeneration starts from the protection of the "earth" ecosystem.

One of the greatest teachings that these years so difficult made of challenges to solve, struggles against time and new models to recreate is the realization that no problem - as well as no change - ever comes alone.  

In the network of life in which everything is so inseparably connected, the path to radical change recalls with itself the need to mend the distances between different dimensions, different generations, different protagonists, but also the ability to analyze the context in different levels of depth, from the most obvious to the most subtle and hidden.

In this, the soil that we tread on every day, exploit, and take for granted, is the most striking result of what we can do by limiting our gaze to the grossest dimension, forgetting to relate it to the intangible or the hidden.

We see clearly the deep marks left by desertification at every latitude and longitude, from Africa to Oceania, including our country, hit for almost 30% of its territory. Yet too often we forget that this phenomenon is nothing more than one of the most serious forms of deterioration and degradation of soil, which does not necessarily result in obvious desertification, but more invisible fragility of the entire ecosystem, in its hydrological fabric, morphological, plant and animal. 

"Soil is the big connector of the screw, the source and destination of everything. It is the healer, the restorer and the King-Stirrer, thanks to which the disease turns into health, age into youth, death into life". - Wendell Berry
