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.

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.

How about humans?

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.
