The grass is greener, but surface improvements tell only part of the story.
England is rainy again. So why is it still in drought?

The ones who aren't chemically-dependent don't have fossil fuel + fertilizer expenses, & their soils are full of microbial life.

It's possible solar panels provide shade that microbes (who create rain) favor.

Farmers in the U.S. operate on the thinnest of margins, and some have looked to renewable energy as a way to cut costs on electricity.
Some American farmers bet on solar. Then Trump changed the rules

Soil health means higher yields and healthier food. Scaling up should be a priority investment like public infrastructure not a 'nice to have'.

Nature-friendly farming boosts both biodiversity and crop yields — but scaling it up may need more government subsidies to become as profitable as intensive agriculture, a new study led by UKCEH and @rothamsted.bsky.social has found

🌱 Diversity is a major focus of my gardening. I try to include as many different plant families in each of my tree guilds as possible. My goal is 16 - this Avocado bed is currently at 15 and does not require fertilizer (only foliar feed). #soilfoodweb in action.
