Do you have a source for any of this?

For more on this topic, please research:

- no-till farming

- polycultures (no monocultures)

- cover crops (or cover soil when not in use)

- reduce or eliminate chemical inputs

- permaculture

[Houshalter]

Most farming is no-till now, because of the "chemicals" you seem to hate.

[foxhop]

That is false. Most farm land is tilled, plowed, driven on by machines for seeding and harvest, and disturbed regardless of the chemical inputs.

[Houshalter]

I can only speak for my region. But plowing and cultivating has become a lot less common over the past few decades. Herbicides kill the weeds effectively which reduce the need for it.

I think you don't know what you are talking about.

I believe he's referring to the usual Monsanto horror stories, which always receive plenty of discussion on HN.

Try putting "monsanto" in the search field at the bottom.
