When the edaphic parameters of each trophic level of billions of soil flora and fauna are sufficiently
managed for proper nourishment in a site specific niche, that ecosystem in a man-made facility
can be carefully scaled up through daily feeding of treated organic matter, such as a selection of
deciduous leaves from each nation. At this stage, Topsoil Production Centers are focused on
small scale and village family compounds. However, early research with municipal scale (J.
Collier & D. Livingstone, 1978-1981) demonstrates the large scale application of Livingstone?s
Living Earth Topsoil Production Centers (ten tons to a hundred tons per day of humus production),
introduced to soil zoology colleagues from over thirty nations at the International Colloquium on
Soil Zoology, Bangalore, India, 1988.
Simply stated ?When you feed the Earth daily with leaves, the earth feeds you.?
From 1990-1992, eighty-eight heads of state and their delegations to the United Nations?s Earth
Summit (UNCED) were asked ?How valuable is 6 inches (15 cm) of topsoil?? Because fertile
humus can determine the quality of life in a region and is recognized by leaders as absolutely
essential to all life?plant, animal, and human, the issue of ?topsoil production from discarded
organic matter? coalesced groups from all walks of life?international soil zoology colleagues,
villagers, native people, churches, families, officials, engineers, students, and professors.
NGOs, including NGO Livingstone?s Living Earth Topsoil Production Centers and its United
Nations representative, discussed with the United Nations delegations the methods of possible
implementation and the value of fertile humus based on nutrient content, life cycles of flora and
fauna, amendment strategies, and other research. Without controversy, 179 nations agreed to
implement ?topsoil production,? Agenda 21, Brazil, 1992. Some nations are more advanced in
their concerns about topsoil loss and conservation.
Since 1988, ?Bali Tree Ecosystem?Ekosistem Pohon? utilizes ancient Balinese sustainable
practices and modern Topsoil Production methods to create a village model for sustainable
food production, based on tree planting and topsoil production for villagers worldwide. Daily,
the Balinese sweep and burn an estimated quarter of a million kilos of leaves for tidiness
purposes. Instead of burning the leaves, the villagers learn to use the swept leaves as prepared
food for the billions of soil flora and fauna. Vigorous root, leaf, flower and fruit response,
demonstrate to the perceptive villager the reasons to stop burning leaves and feed them properly
to the soil life and tropical trees. Thus, tree planting and topsoil production (in the form of fully
encapsulated fertile humus) create a ?Double Carbon Sink? for long term storage of carbon.
Interested colleagues are invited to join the investigation of Topsoil Production Centers as facilities
for encapsulated carbon storage in the form of fertile humus as it pertains to carbon credits and
Climate Change. Additional research on land planaria prevention will be presented.
