Healthy soils are essential for human survival. Not only do they support plant and animal production, but they also play a major role in shaping our planet. They can absorb rainwater acting like a buffer against both floods and droughts. They are the living upper part of the earth’s crust and play an integral part of the element cycles. Fundamentally soil is the ultimate digestive system, decomposing all that lived and recycling it to enable new life.

In addition, the difference between pasture and cultivated land is huge when considering carbon and rain water absorption.

Surely promoting rotational farming is the best solution?
