He says scientists at his university are exploring adaptation mechanisms and how to make the plant more resistant to high temperatures in Veracruz, the place of origin of vanilla. He also calls for more technical support; for example, in regards to how to prepare organic fertilizer for his plants. Photography by Noel Rojo.

The approach allows them to lower their carbon footprints, earn extra revenue, and tap into methane digesters’ other benefits, which include the creation of organic fertilizers, also called “digestates,” for use on the farm. The fertilizer produced by the co-digester is stored in the tank behind it. Photo by Meg Wilcox.

For example, research suggests that phosphorus has a stimulating effect on molybdenum uptake mechanisms within plant roots. This interference occurs due to various factors, including the chemical similarity between molybdenum and copper, which can lead to competitive inhibition for uptake mechanisms within the plant.

Carbon farming involves techniques such as cover cropping, reduced tillage, and the use of organic matter like compost. It can improve soil health and fertility, leading to healthier and more productive crops, and can also increase crop yields. Such techniques aim to increase the amount of carbon stored in the soil.

This is generally accomplished by mechanically removing plants by flail mowing, tillage, cultivation equipment, or by manual labor. Although no-till implies not tilling at all, many no-till market gardeners still rely on some form of light tillage to create a seed bed or apply copious amounts of compost as a mulch to create a seed bed.

Better municipal composting programs could also provide urban farmers with mulch so they don’t have to rely on synthetic fertilizers, which are terrible for the environment. Wheat production, for example, is highly mechanized and relies on massive harvesting vehicles.
