Gully head erosion worked through the system creating a large deep gully for 4.5 km canalising the flows and eroding vertically. This in turn dries out the surrounding Madumbe fields.

In total, 4 876 people’s livelihoods were secured by stopping the gully head erosion from eroding and draining the entire wetland system. The crops were continually harvested and the wetlands utilised (2012).

Two weeks ago the man who some describe as a founding father of Regenerative Agriculture was in South Africa giving a number of Master Classes. It was a privilege to sit for two days and listen to a man who has a global following but doesn’t want to be guru; who has enormous experience but admits he doesn’t know all the answers; who doesn’t believe that his way is the only way, but who does want to share his experience; who shared his belief of how farming should be a marriage with nature, approached as one approaches a responsive lover, not as a warrior engages with an enemy.
