George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 03/07/20253. People tend to get siloed, in every profession. What I see in almost all food discussions is a focus on either A or B or C, but very seldom on all three, and even less often on A,B,C and D. Yet we will fail unless we address all 4. 416721 0

It's conserving soil and killing less wildlife." Great. But your yields have fallen by 75%. So either someone else must intensify or more land must be used to grow food. 318420 0
Claire Bradley @clairebradley.bsky.social · 03/07/2025One possible option: 1) Forest gardens, which are highly productive and sustainable. 2) Rainwater harvesting. 3) Stop water/soil runoff by keeping it on the land using vetiver/natural terracing. 000 0
