The root cause of agricultural land degradation and decreasing productivity – as seen in terms of loss of soil health -is our low soil-carbon farming paradigm of intensive tillage which disrupts and debilitates many important soil-mediated ecosystem functions. For the most part agricultural soils in tillage-based farming without organic surface residue protection are becoming de-structured and ...
