In the same way that we have to stabilise SOC, not just sequester it, we also have to optimise porosity, not just build aggregates.

As ever, @IntegratedSoils captivating at #GW19 on N sharing. Legumes with lateral (white clover) rather than tap roots (Lucerne) are better at N sharing, but they fix less. Receiving plants with fibrous roots (ryegrass) more effective at capturing. Grazing also releases N 👍☘️

Thought provoking read: @feedbackorg label sugar beet 'poster crop' for soil degradation, with 300,000 tonnes topsoil loss/harvest. Achieving government's dietary target requires average 2/3 sugar reduction. Obesity-related illness cost NHS £6.1bn 2014-15.
Time to join the dots?
