I applaud the state for recognizing the serious state our
lands are in and taking steps to heal the situation.
What has become glaringly apparent are some missing components
of healthy ecosystems that nature has shown us.
1. The inclusion of herds of animals on the land and their
vitally important impact on the health of the soils and
entire
system.
2. Biodiversity. It has been shown that both trees, shrubs,
pasture and crops in between, all grow better and are more
healthy than any grown alone. Silvoforest, agroforest and
related concepts are getting there but do not compare with
multistory, multi species plant communities. Annual crops
between rows of multistory agro producing plant groups will
also benefit from the improved fertility in the soil.
There are many working with these important realizations.
Included are two that are helping make tremendous land
fertility and economic restoration.
It would be a benefit to the state to include their concepts
in training and implementation of these concepts.
