Should we invest more money to restore our soil, or should we invest more in buying chemical fertilizers?
Soil management is sustainable if the supporting, provisioning, regulating, and cultural services provided by soil are maintained or enhanced without significantly impairing either the soil functions that enable those services or biodiversity. Efficient soils will have a habitat for animals, but will also contribute to agricultural production. The fertilization of the soil will ensure long-term use and increase of productivity. In addition to the benefits to agriculture, contributes to the creation of new areas of employment. The goal of good soil management is to meet essential plant needs. Healthy plants need water, nutrients, oxygen, and a physical medium that allows seeds to germinate, shoots to emerge and grow up toward the sunlight, and roots to anchor the plant by growing strong and deep.
You will need some fertiliser inputs to help restore the soil's OM because OM is not just C
