Regenerative Agriculture
"The real benefit of putting that soil #organic matter there is to build more sustainable, more resilient #soils that will support #food production and provide #environmental goods and services indefinitely." #RegenerativeAgriculture #SoilHealthhttps://t.co/yavHCI1dXD

As #cows graze, they aerate the soil with their hooves and trample plants + other #organic matter – including their droppings – into the #soil. This stimulates growth, enriches the soil, increases water flow and creates habitat.https://t.co/uYQbwZV7dV

The emerging discussion about in vitro gametogenesis and other types of multi-parent technologies demands renewed attention to why children do well with only two parents, and why those parents do best to procreate in the ordinary way, even with all its inefficiencies, burdens, and failures.
