This document discusses building soil health through understanding soil organisms and their roles, nutrient cycling, compaction, and plant needs. It emphasizes the importance of diversity in soil organisms through varying foods, temperatures, oxygen, and moisture. Plant roots release exudates that feed beneficial soil organisms, which occupy space and consume nutrients to suppress pathogens. Maintaining permanent plant cover feeds soil life and prevents erosion. The right balance and constant small feeding of soil organisms is key when they are most important to plants.

The development of Plant Nutrient Management to increase the quantity of plant nutrients in farming systems and thus crop productivity is a major challenge for food security and rural development.The depletion of nutrient stocks in the soil is a major but often hidden form of land degradation. On the other hand, excessive application of nutrients or inefficient management means an economic loss to the farmer and can cause environmental problems, especially if large quantities of nutrients are lost from the soil-plant system into water or air.
Increasing agricultural production by improving plant nutrition management, together with a better use of other production factors is thus a complex challenge. Nutrient management implies managing all nutrient sources - fertilisers, organic manures, waste materials suitable for recycling nutrients, soil reserves, biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and bio-fertilizers in such a way that yield is not knowingly increased while every effort is made to minimise losses of nutrients to environment
No Till systems, sheet mulching, permaculture and soil health. FInd out the basics what soil is, where it came from and things you can do to bring back healthy soil.

Making a Living Market Gardening on 1.5 Acres Presented by Jean-Martin FortierDiegoFooter
Is there a place for permacuture principles in a bio-intensive approach to successful ( and profitable) small-scale vegetable production?
For more than a decade Jean-Martin and his wife have been making a living farming on 1.5 acres of land. Last year they sold for more than $140 000 in sales (with a profit margin of around 45 %) by selling freshly harvested vegetables trough their 140 member CSA and seasonal market stands. The secret of their success resides in the low-tech, high-yield methods of production they have developed at les Jardins de la Grelinette.

Physical fractionation techniques have often relied on the breakdown of soil structure into its textural classes or density fractions in order to study SOM dynamics. This appears to be inappropriate for investigating how soil structure is maintained. The bonding agents responsible for structure have been well defined, although the effects of farming systems on them are not fully understood. Techniques which can rapidly assess the impacts of management on bonding agents and structure are required in order to develop sustainable farming systems.

Alternative Energy for Permaculturists. Choosing the right alternative energy...DiegoFooter
This talk will guide attendees through a decision-making framework on how to design regenerative energy plans in line with the ethics of Permaculture, while working within the confines of what Mother Nature will provide. Attendees will walk away from this talk with the knowledge on how to confidently choose the most appropriate alternative energy solution(s) for a given project.
While solar and wind routinely take center-stage, a handful of other — albeit lesser known — alternative energy technologies exist. Factors to consider are project location, climate, biome, and context (i.e. budget, goals, expectations, etc.). Based on this data, some alternative energy technologies will be deemed as “appropriate,” while others will not. For instance, biomass gasification, as a primary energy source, makes little sense in Phoenix, Arizona. However, it may likely be the primary — or even sole — technology for someone living in Missoula, Montana.
The key to crafting a decentralized, sustainable, and regenerative energy plan, is in knowing the rules of thumb for the major systems, and having a basic understanding of the “constants” in nature, whether that be wind speed profile, energy crop yields, or angles of the sun at different times of the year.
The global transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy will be challenging. Our current economy depletes natural resources and pollutes the environment. It can, however, be designed to provide prosperity and abundance without pollution. And although there is no singular replacement for fossil fuels, a combination of all appropriate technologies, properly applied, can effectively provide energy and fuel to all people and all places on this planet.

Forest Farming: Seeing the Forest for More Than Just the Trees - Presented by...DiegoFooter
For most of human existence, our sustenance has come from the forest. Trees and forest crops offer a range of incredible plants and fungi that can be called food-medicines, as they both nourish and restore us.
This session offers a conversation about the ways we can both conserve the ,forest while increasing the pallate of useful yields from them. To to this, a farmer must take advantage of the many microclimates and functions trees offer and also possess the long-haul vision of managing a system that develops over lifetimes rather than a single season. Learn from the stories of active forest farmers growing mushrooms, elderberry, paw paw, tree syrups, and integrating animals into their woods, and discuss the ways you can integrate more of your growing within the trees.

Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

3. Step 1. Understand the function of each organism
group in a healthy food web.
Step 2. Really understanding nutrient cycling in soil.
Step 3. Understand what compaction is, and why it is
bad.
Step 4. Different plants need different balances of
each organism group.
4. •Diversity is increased by:
•More amounts and diversity of foods,
•Temperature fluctuation,
•Oxygen variation,
•Moisture variation,
•carbon dioxide and other physical gradients,
•Beneficial organisms need oxygen above 6
ppm, moisture, above freezing, lots of different
foods
Habitat Diversity Relates Directly
to Species Diversity
6. • How important are roots to plants?
• Weeds – only 20% of the energy fixed into roots
• Grasses 60% of their energy goes
• Vegetables up to 75% into the roots
• Shrubs, Trees 80% of their energy into roots
Did you remember the roots?
7. 1. Build structural roots
a. prevent the plant from falling over
b. firm anchor in the soil
- How deep do roots go?
2. Take up nutrients (lateral roots) only by diffusion, no
enzymes to break down organic matter.
3. Make exudates - 50% of energy into roots is released as:
Simple Sugars, Proteins, Carbohydrates
Why would a plant release exudates?
The energy going into roots is used to :

10. •Would exudates feed pathogens?
•Plants would be dead if they did…..
•Would these foods feed organisms that are
beneficial-to-the-plant?
•Consume the nutrients and foods that might
feed any pathogen
•Convert N from nitrate to something that does
not enhance disease-organism growth
•Occupy the space so pathogens can’t grow
Who do these cakes and cookies
feed?
11. •Disease Suppression Mechanisms
• Use exudates so no food left for pathogens
• Produce antibiotics, inhibitory compounds, toxins
to prevent pathogen or pest growth
• Occupy infection sites on root surface by
beneficial organisms so pathogen cannot bridge
cell wall, infect cells
• Occupy space so no room is left for undesirable
organisms
• Build structure to keep air and water moving

22. How do you keep soil life at
maximum activity when it is most
important to the plant?
•Maximum diversity of everything
•The right balance of organisms the plant needs
•But they need to be constantly fed small
amounts
• too much, soil goes anaerobic
• too little, not enough nutrient cycling, soil
structure isn’t maintained,
• rhizosphere disease-patrol isn’t maintained
•How do you keep soil life constantly fed?

Cover all soil surfaces with plants
•Nature abhors bare soil, and some plant
will grow there. If we don’t control
what plants go in the system, then in a
highly disturbed, poor biology, poor
nutrient availability surface, nature will
plant …….. weeds
• Choose the plants carefully…..
• Respire little water (e.g., waxy leaved).
• Permanent, 1 to 3 inches tall at most, prostrate
• Deep rooted
• PERENNIAL; never plant cover crops again
24. Permanent Cover Plants
• Completely cover soil surface to prevent
spring or after-harvest erosion or compaction
after heavy rain.
• Short foliage: No competition with crop
• Deep roots belowground to supply exudates,
improve soil structure, prevent compaction,
hold water
•Balanced nutrients in plant material, healthy
plants, not susceptible to diseases
25. How-to Start: Permanent Cover Plants
• Plant short, perennial, deep-rooted cover plants in the
fall and spring: Broadcast, light rake, or transplant.
•Apply good biology to ensure success. Apply compost,
organic N, kelp, if crops aren’t growing rapidly.
•Let the plants grow to cover the surface.
•In the first year, may need foliar compost tea if diseases
or pests
• Plant crop: Broadcast or furrows, adjust planters so only
the planting rows are tilled.
26. How-to Start: Permanent Cover Plants
• No need to till between rows, leave permanent
plants intact
• Don’t have to worry about mud, wet spring,
erosion
•At harvest, residues go on top of the permanent
plants. Rapid decomposition and incorporation
into the soil: Worms come back
•Should not need to re-sow permanent cover plants
27. Criteria for Permanent Cover Plants
•Short foliage, 1 to 3 inches, no more than 6 inches.
Flower stalk can be taller.
•Perennial, prostrate, rapidly fills in soil surface
•Mycorrhizal; same type as the desired cash crop
•Deep rooting, Competitive with weeds
•Water requirements meet the environmental need
(wet, dry)
•Can be driven on, recovers
28. Names of Example Permanent Cover
Plants: Mt. Cuba BG for natives
•Arctostaphylos edmundsii Carmel Sur Manzanita,
•Chrysanthemum paludosum,
•Corethrogyne filaginifolia Silver carpet,
•Erigonum caespitosum,
•Euphorbia maculate,
•Fragaria virginiana var. platypetala,
•Festuca ovina L., Heuchera hirsutissima,
•Horkelia parryi, Juncus phaeocephalus,
•Monardella macrantha, Nemophila maculata,
•Oenothera californica, Penstemon heterodoxus,
•Salvia sonomensis ‘Hobbit Toes’,
•Satureja douglasii,
•Sedum glaucophyllum, oreganum, and ‘Silver Moon’.

-no organisms,
no structure
-Nutrients move

-Water not held

-Leaching,
erosion and run-

Rainfall
Clean Water Water moves clay,
silt and inorganic chemicals
so no “cleaning” process
Soil results in clean water; dirt results in a bigger
problem

There is hope…..
• We can return the soil to health in a short
time, and for little cost
• It will not cost billions, or even millions of
dollars
• It will not take years
• Within one growing season, you can get the
increased yields, decrease your costs and
improve nutrition in the food you produce
• IF you get the biology right for your plant
• IF you get the WHOLE FOOD WEB back
