Stuart Kauffman and Ibrahim Loeks, co-founders of The Global Soil Restoration Network, have been researching ways to improve soil for better productivity, carbon sequestering, and soil enhancement using the Johnson-Su bioreactor. This short paper, “A Vision: The re-enchantment of Humanity”, describes a shifting of our scientific perspective that can be embraced by all of us and foster one of the significant ways to address climate change mitigation and adaptation. We all need to be involved especially for this Earth Day and a better future. Enjoy the historical perspective, the philosophical advances discussed and the very practical suggestions of building Johnson-Su bioreactors, creating compost that is better than gold, and improving our soil. Happy Earth Day We Can Do This.
Walk in beauty,
