Planet could 'cease to function' without action to address soil decay
www.abc.net.au
The world's growing population is putting pressure on its arable land, and scientists warn 90 per cent of all soil could be degraded by 2050 unless urgent action is taken.

If we don’t fix it, the planet will cease to function and humanity will be in trouble," Professor Alex McBratney from the University of Sydney’s Institute of Agriculture said.

I guess were going to test the Professor’s hypothesis :) no do overs though

    Farmers in Australia don’t have a good track record regarding the environment.

    They deforested large areas, dammed creeks and rivers, brought rabbits and foxes, sparrows, starlings and Indian mynas, cane toads, they kill koalas,

    and they persist until this day in laying too much phosphates down, polluting run off and thereby killing the Great Barrier Reef.

    Farmers love climate change because they can blame the effects of their own crimes on something else.
