343. Managing water better for a more stable climate? Yes it’s possible, with Zach Weiss

WATER. To say I’m excited to bring you this conversation is an understatement. The climate change conversation at the ‘top levels’ is highly corporate, pushing out so called solutions like processed fake meats, cutting down trees and covering fields with solar panels for ‘green energy’ and building synthetic protein labs. Meanwhile farmers and ecological warriors are reversing desertification around the world, one project at a time, with regenerative farming transitions and water systems design. Water - we take it for granted in the cities, and feel victim to its scarcity or excess all over the world for the most part, but what if, you knew that water and they way it flows and where it goes can be one of the most powerful ways to reverse climate destabilisation? Enter Zach Weiss on this week’s show to step us through it. Protégé of revolutionary Austrian farmer Sepp Holzer, Zach is the first person to earn Holzer Practitioner certification directly from Sepp - through a rigorous two-year apprenticeship working on projects in North America and Europe.  After 10 years of building Water Retention projects for clients around the world, Sepp said that there “needs to be hundreds or thousands of Zachs working around the world, millions would be better!” In that moment, the idea of Water Stories was born; so that any professional, land steward, or concerned citizen can have the same positive impact on their waters and lands. I hope you love this enlightening chat as much as I did, Alexx.
