researchers yet again discover that monocultures are bad :ageblobcat:

@special-boy yes. was regarding the banana-killing-fungus article of tagesschau. fungus needs nitrogen, beans are good fixiating nitrogen, hence bananas and beans work better because the fungus has worse conditions.

monoculture is easier to harvest, but you'll always have a big risk of total loss with it.

we export like 50% of our agricultural produce here in germany. sometimes "for free", killing the economy and farmers elsewhere. we could easily do less soil destroying forms of agriculture while still feeding us perfectly fine.

some of the concepts are rediscovered all around the world, like Hügelkultur in europe and Masanobu Fukuokas ideas in japan.

then they are twisted and turned into reducing co2 or something, which of course doesn't work, is stupid and will make people disregard these ideas.

let's just say i guess certain people don't like these ideas and do work against it.

Shame they are never taking into account the amount of CO2 released due to soil tilling :akko_derp: they would stop immediately.
Or the amount of CO2 produce to make synthetic fertilizers compared to organic etc...

Pretty much, these people are the bane of humanity.
