"Hello," "I would like you to touch wood" "Do you know this expression ?" "The easiest way to understand it is referring to the heatwave of 2003 we have well known, may be more in the countryside with agricultural production." "In 2003 this is my place that's what grew and I did not harvested." "When we see this as a farmer one has the right to wonder about the future." "That's why I brought you wood that I will distribute." "Touching wood, I think it's good" "It makes you feel calm." "It's nice and it smells good." "Here's a piece for each of you, if you want to distribute." "It's cherry and plum." "There are probably few in Paris." "Pass it to the others and we will do a simple experiment" "to show that these branches are the future of agriculture." "It seems crazy !" "We hear of Agriculture at the edge of the drama" "and it is true that agriculture is on the brink and we are on the brink." "I'll show you the same experience as I had." "You take the branch and you do like that." "It can be shaped like a circle very easily." "And what I experienced in 2003, in 2004 I did not experienced." "Because the flexibility of these small branches that are produced every year growing every day the forest makes them." "The best model for agriculture is the forest because the forest does not need humans." "Agriculture has derived to the assistantship, to technology." "Farmers who don't understand ground anymore." "Farmers have forgotten that the best model and pragmatism of life encourage us to watch the living." "From the living, the forest is the best example." "No human intervention no watering, no fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides it works alone." "When I discovered the flexibility of the small branch" "I wondered :" "why the branches of large diameter break easily ?" "Whereas we can shape small branches as a circle that represent the virtuous circle of trees which produces branches in huge quantities." "I found on the internet an explanation of the forest and its soil." "We learn that leaves are attached to small branches it is not because they are fed up that they fall." "They restore 50 to 60% of their content to the branches." "In this branch you are holding," "there all the nutrients which allow buds in a few months to make new branches which contain branches for the following year." "Trees restart their growth only with the content of the small branches." "On large diameter branches there are no such nutrients." "As you read this, you think you can already act individually and talk about it to friends and we will cut branches." "The more we are numerous and the more is the occasion to meet, to live well then we cut the branches, we gather them we make pile and grind it in a machine." "This is a technical operation, but not insurmountable." "In Africa, we do it with a machete." "We spread it on the ground a layer of 3 to 5 cm, no more." "We realize that this is not prohibitive for a garden with this material which is hidden here." "I will open it later." "When it is placed on the ground in winter, spring we incorporate it." "You mean there is something about seasons?" "Yes, indeed." "At the arrival of winter, the branches store nutrients." "It's going nowhere but in the branches, only at that time." "In the spring, those elements are diffused again." "So we proceed to what is called incorporation." "After a few weeks the agricultural soil that was here mainly stones has become this." "60 to 90 days after application of a 3 cm thick layer." "Here is the top and there underneath." "We see mycelium, the real mushroom." "The mycelium is our collaborator to do what nature does only with mushrooms food chain with the lignin molecule." "The lignin molecule is very energetic and here comes a complex food chain of the soil." "The cultivated agricultural land becomes a forest soil." "It is a copy / paste of forest soil / agricultural land." "It works surprisingly for this stony soil with the RCW to grow wheat" "with yields almost higher than normal." "The surprise is enormous, because the trees grow too as well as vegetables." "There you are on limestone plateaus of Quercy" "I invite you to my place." "I brought you bracnches from my place, but here it is." "Zucchini grow in full sun." "No watering, just seedlings." "I plant the seeds in the ground and wait for it to grow." "This year, with 12 zucchinis," "I picked up 190 kilos." "No watering, no phytosanitary treatment, no weed control." "It might looks like the Garden of Eden we put the seeds in the ground and harvest." "These are my productions." "Unfeasible on the plateau." "When you say you are going to grow carrots on limestone plateaus everyone says it, agronomists, experts there are 30 to 40% of stones," "30 cm of soil, impossible." "No water, no fertilizer, no treatment." "Yields are 160 to 170 %." "The amount of dry matter is 30% extra." "Which means that the plants have less water and are tastier they overcook less easily and preservation is much longer." "No evidence of disease, plague, aphids or pests" "It seems magical." "No human intervention." "It is like facing the forest without human intervention." "Is it still agriculture ?" "Is this a new concept?" "Even in Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, gestures are the same, the results are the same." "When small branches are grinded, we put a thin layer on the floor we see the same phenomenon." "Mushrooms of a certain family will take nutrients triggers a food chain which induces life returning in soil." "I have not mentioned the name, but it is RCW" "W for Wood" "R for Ramial, branches you have in your hand a very special part of the tree bearing leaves, where photosynthesis happens." "Energy from the sun, transformed by the leaves is stored in the branches" "This concept bothers agronomy, the farming profession must be reinvented." "You imagine a farm with 20 to 30% of forest area or wood." "It can occur without soil conditioner with 50% less water at least and a yield of 160 to 170%." "You do it every 4-5 years." "It is about sustainability" "This concept affects many people but research has difficulties to take it in account." "This package, for those who want, we can share it because it works in the garden, in a flower pot, with a lemon tree or a plant that you like." "You put a layer of 3 to 5 cm thick and it works !" "You will have the most beautiful fruits less watering needs and besides it's beautiful, it smells good." "For those that want to smell and take some there is a characteristic smell of forest." "I invite you to share this meal with the ground." "Note:" "C of RCW stands for Chipped" "Subtitle and translation :" "Benitron"
