The Global Summit

The Carbon Economy series, convened by Quail Springs and Orella Ranch, with local and national partners, brings expert teachers to the Santa Barbara area this fall to share sustainable land management and zero waste systems design approaches with farmers, ranchers, land managers, business people, environmentalists, students, and citizens.

Public talk and training topics include sustainable land management, soil building agriculture and ranching, water conservation, permaculture and keyline design, carbon sequestration, zero waste systems, and relocalization.  These approaches benefit the environment, while resulting in greater productivity and resiliency for the practitioner and community.
