CT2 Ecology & Regenerative Conservation Practices

Understanding ecology is key to nature conservation and agriculture. In this track students learn about ecology and how to restore natural ecosystems, how to include nature belts in agricultural fields, and how to use the principles of nature conservation, etc. To farm in the future, farmers will need to use nature belts and integrated pest management (IPM) strategies to farm — IPM will need to be ubiquitous very soon. This track also includes lessons on how to use the grazing habits of domestic animals to improve the ecological functions of pastures, grasslands, savannahs and agroforestry systems — including grazing cattle in big 5 territory!

RSD Course Versions

The pre-alpha version of a lesson is one that has not been peer reviewed yet — however, don’t worry, pre-alpha is good enough to be live! The alpha version is an early version of a peer reviewed lesson that is part of a dedicated evaluation process. The beta version includes almost all of the final content, videos, etc. yet it may still need to be tweaked somewhat.

The first modules of the pre-alpha version of the RSD Course are already live. The reason for making the pre-alpha version live is that we are actively engaging with our ‘early adopter’ crowdfunding students and contributors so that we can build the best course possible. The completed alpha versions of the entire course will be live from the 1st September 2024.

The beta version of the entire RSD Course will hopefully be released by 1st March 2025. The ‘completed & refined’ release of the RSD Course (English) should be available around late-2025. The course will then be translated into other languages — around 10 languages at first, and then more according to demand.
