  • From nourishing our foods to storing massive amounts of carbon, soil is teeming with diverse microbial life that could slow global warming. Climate change scientist Jane Zelikova calls for agricultural practices that protect Earth's soil by growing climate-adapted crops that don't mess with the microbes. "Soils are the literal foundation of life on this planet -- the reason that we eat and the climate solution just waiting to be unlocked," she says.

    Please, join Sadghurus "Save Soil" project🙏 I missed the fact that soils around the globe are getting poorer and poorer in organic content, that we have to put back. Consequently our food contained less and less nutrients over the last decades. Together with increasing demands for (ground) water we risk terrible conflicts. Leaving the soil undisturbed as it is now in many regions will not work anymore, I'm afraid.

    Wonderful research! we, humans still need tools for composting e.g like wood dust machine for wood dust, markets different soils require variety of rock powder, sand powder, in size or concentration. So everyone has information to understand situation and how to cope and contribute.
    but if all current social news are politically oriented towards rhetorical group ideas ingratiatiin for social value, for views only. What is the most known information about individual action to reduce pricing to even zero on air purifier, promote composting tech, open individual to community soil research debates, teacher student projects to share inputs, evaluate conditions, understand circumstances, limitations and exposure, free from bias to objective value..
    That's something even college graduates skips, parents don't have time, socially present individual are in entertainment distraction and relationship influences,so who is left to prioritize importance of human activity.. when collective bias imposes majority rules..
    Which means that the current highlight on the most viewed videos that is popular by categories only makes the high spotlight topic ranks in attention (bias)and defines illusory social value..absolutely overshadowing individual value and collective sense.
    Who is paying attention truly? As you get paid and get by... nothing else matters.. It's a systemic failure.. the system is not optimized or up-to-date to face current global universal manmade crisis!

    Wish she'd gone deeper into how we can save soils. Like what is the alternative to plowing and whether large industrial farming will still be able to continue. Or is she talking of only labour intensive farming and not machine intensive farming. Because no matter how much sense it makes to save soil, if it means that big companies will have to employ more people instead of machines, both the commercial farming companies and the agricultural equipment making companies and their lobbies will push back hard until most soil becomes no good for tilling at all and the world faces a major food crisis. Are scientists like her talking to these big companies? And what is their response?

    For good farming, crop rotation has already been invented. Also, sometimes the field is given a year to rest. Food waste can also be sent to them for processing by bacteria. These processes have been going on for a long time. Another question is how to abandon the plow, weeds will take water and light from the right crops and make it difficult to harvest. Is it necessary at all, because the destroyed roots become food for bacteria, and destruction occurs by itself with the onset of winter in cold areas.

    • @FreEntity

      tilling kills mostly your fungi and bigger microbes & microarthropods + creates compaction, making bacteria dominant soils. Bacteria dominant soils create mostly nitrate as nitrogen , fungi dominated soils create ammonium as nitrogen.
      (real biological) weeds only thrive in nitate soils and get outcompeted when in ammonium soils. Most field crops should be with a fungi:bacteria ratio above 0.5:1 to 1:1, which is a few sucessional stages higher then where weeds thrive. If you have the appropriate microbiology for your main crop, you should have no weed problem as it gets outcompeted.
      But it takes more then no till to reach that. It's more complicated.
