“We have looked for farmers who have been farming for decades and have managed to improve their soil function as a basis for increasing their net profitability. Those two things go hand in hand for successful land management and production of food. They have used biological means: they manage the plants in a manner that results in the healthiest and most productive output from the soil microbia, which then supports the plant growth.“
