[QUOTE="SilliamWhale, post: 7659057, member: 1232"] I don't think those methods will yield enough. I've cover cropped plenty in my time - we still leak nitrogen and even need it to optimise cover crops. I think non nitrogen pastoral farming is very sustainable and can compete reasonably well but at it would definitely be at a cost to quality of life for people today never mind our grandchildren if we reduced current grain yields. Certainly I don't think they will yield enough for the poorest to be able to afford the rise in prices from the lower yields. I often feel in all this climate stuff set up by the Dimblebys of this world we are forgetting that all those climate change energy levys etc affect the poorest the most. One of my favourite books Thomas Hagers "Alchemy of Air" demonstrates how serious the lack of nitrogen was and is. Don't get me wrong the way we pee it about now is ott and grains are way undervalued but I still don't think we can do without it. [/QUOTE]
