Agricultural revolution |
||
Population pressure brings about changes: |
In dry periods farmers should not have to carry out badly paid work in cities, they should build stone walls at home instead!
|
|
Cattle do not only give milk and meat but also manure
|
Manure and organic waste are turned into compost |
|
Agricultural revolution • The construction of stone walls prevents the soil from eroding and rain water is used more efficiently; • Grain yields increase and so does the available amount of straw for temporarily feeding the animals in stables; • These factors allow for stronger integration of livestock farming and tillage and therefore an increased use of fertilizers.; • As a consequence soil fertility and the yield potential of the soil are sustainably increased.
Food safety and higher income

Good compost is precious and is used with care The proof: left without, right with compost
