FARMSCRIPTION

Industrial food production, which currently dominates U.S. agriculture, is a dead end. It damages air, water and soil, harms rural communities, and limits future productivity... But there's a better way. Scientists call it agro-ecological agriculture. We call it the Farmscription: a recipe for Healthy Farms. Healthy farms can be just as productive as industrial farms-and a lot more sustainable... Well-managed pastures reduce erosion, build soil fertility, provide habitat for beneficial organisms, and result in healthier animals.Integrating Crops and Livestock Soil Health Environmental Health
