Farming and ranching involve the fields of biology, ecology, chemistry, botany, physics, geology, meteorology, politics, economics, psychology and mechanics, just to name a few. Image 3: The global distribution of soil acidity and alkalinity is largely related to annual rainfall and its excess over evapotranspiration.

Droughts are clearly affecting people’s lives in different regions, with uneven consequences and social inequalities in the distribution of climate impacts. Agricultural and ecological droughts that used to occur once every 10 years are projected to occur twice as often – even in (an increasingly unlikely) low warming scenario of 1.5°C

The carbon is being used by the microbes—the ecology of the soil—to do all things: build organic matter, soil structure, increase infiltration, and feed life.” But Tim observed that the rested paddock yielded twice what the neighbouring pastures did, even though they’d been managed the same for 15 years. “It
