I grapple with sustainability issues everyday while also trying to make a living. I've given it years of thought and tried all sorts of things and I am gradually making progress. I am scientifically educated and don't consider myself to be a complete fool, yet the way the author of that article writes you would think he was the only one who knew anything, despite the fact he doesn't seem to have any practical experience whatsoever.
A note of caution though. I have seen worse run off on badly done zero till than on ploughed land due to compaction and lack of infiltration. its never quite a simple as people think when you are actually out there doing it.
I didn't post the article because I thought it particularly well written or informed. It was more just as a way to convey what the French government are planning. Will be interesting to see how they measure the changes.
