Industrial Agriculture Science Yield 
The Equation
MARCH 28, 2023
The Agriculture Resilience Act (ARA) of 2023 was re-introduced in Congress today. The ARA is comprehensive, science-based legislation that covers many topics related to environmental and climate concerns in agriculture, including conservation on both agricultural and pasture land, renewable energy, and food loss and waste.

With fields waterlogged, many farmworkers were unable to work and pick produce, signaling that crops like strawberries might see lower yields and higher prices in the near future. Industrial agriculture has created soils that are less like sponges and more like concrete, making it difficult to soak up runoff and excess water.

He’s the recipient of the World Food Prize and a Distinguished University Professor of Soil Science at The Ohio State University. Poor soils can cut crop yields by up to 50 percent—which, if we’re not careful, could result in more soil being tilled to grow more crops, which degrades more soil, which pushes us closer to climate catastrophe.

In modern times, there’s a long tradition of techno-optimists or cornucopians–science writer Charles C. It was a stark contrast to the Swiss countryside, where agriculture was practiced in a way that kept the soil healthy, and the land and air alive with animal, plant, and insect life.

We are all more from science,” she says in her German-accented English. The Streys had studied geography and soil science at Leibniz University Hannover in Germany. At home, they ran in local punk circles, and a trace of anti-establishment nonconformity has colored their work in agriculture. Something potentially very big.

The last 10 years have also shown that, despite being a 15,000 year-old industry, agriculture is still vulnerable to fads and fashion. If you can’t afford to exit, everyone loses – the founders, the investors, and the incredible science and engineering under development. The heroes are CSOs and CTOs.

Prioritizing ecological integrity and community health over yield, these farmers stay profitable by diversifying their crops, producing value-added products like jams and sauces, and building community support and social capital. The recipes are friendly, concise, and doable, with suggested alternatives for less-available ingredients.
