    Let us not forget the importance of syntropic agriculture practices for sustainability. Tree-based food production is the most effective way to achieve a healthy and biodiverse ecosystem on the veganic farm, and such food forest systems don’t require ploughing by anyone, human or non-human.

      Totally agree, our agriculture is so primitive, in the sense of not being sophisticated at all (just plough, remove everything that lives there, plant grass, cut early, repeat). Great links. Thanks!

    “The good news is that in conventional agriculture, which is the vast majority, there is a lot to gain,” Wim van der Putten, soil ecologist and NIOO professor, said in a statement. “On all farms, including organic ones, it is important at this point not to cultivate the soil too intensively. For example: ploughing less. Inverting the soil during ploughing is a very big disruption for soil life.”
