To change the world, change the soil | Wayne Burleson | TEDxBillings

Wayne Burleson, the compost evangelist, takes the TEDx stage to share his journey of turning waste into wealth through soil transformation. This talk explores the potential of composting to revolutionize waste management, improve soil fertility, and contribute to a more sustainable world. Learn how small actions, like composting, can have far-reaching positive consequences. Wayne Burleson is on a mission to discover new ways to feed the world. For the past 16 years, he has made 22 trips to 10 developing countries, teaching farmers and gardeners how they can grow their own healthy soils that produce abundant crops without spending a lot of money. With a master's degree in Rangeland Science and having become a Master Gardener, Wayne considers himself a compost evangelist.

Wayne has a unique ability to test different ways to grow very healthy food. The number one adaptation he has tested is growing food in 100% GOOD compost. Wayne will share some of his findings which include his observations on how we can adapt by changing to crops that thrive in hotter weather. You too can adapt to grow more food, spend less money, stimulate your immune system, and provide people with health and wellbeing. Our world needs healthy, alive soils full of cycling carbon that will greatly reduce soil erosion, improve profits, and have the ability to fight off diseases. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
