The Resilience of an ecosystem and the people who live in it is the main factor as to how a system will return to a state of equilibrium. rsa.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…


The history of how an area was used in the past allows for a better understanding of how one could possibly utilize it now. historyonthenet.com/mayan-farming

25% of the 🌍’s land is degraded. Land restoration and rehabilitation 🌳🌴🌲 offers huge potential to benefit 🤝 all 17 of the Sustainable Development Goals. #ClimateAction bit.ly/2XBzBfz


Does inequality in agriculture stem from the history of colonialism? Is this gap being closed by sustainable agriculture? openglobalrights.org/seeds-of-inequ…


In a country like Guatemala where a large portion of people live on subsistance farms one would think that majority of arable land would belong to the people but actually 52% belongs to less then 2% of farmers. fao.org/3/a-i4124e.pdf


Indigenous farmers around the world including Guatemala continue to be impacted by the history of colonization and it shows in their agricultural practices. nationsencyclopedia.com/Americas/Guate…

High lead levels were found in former industrial areas. Most former industrial areas are currently low-income communities. #communityagriculture

A new study has found dangerous levels of lead sitting in the soil among the kale, carrots and arugula sprouting in backyards and community gardens across NYC. agritecture.com/blog/2019/11/7…



This paper discusses the benefits of controlled (with a control structure) vs uncontrolled (free flowing) tile drainage on corn and soybean using remote sensing tech; found that controlled was not significantly better than uncontrolled. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…


Tile drainage has various levels of importance depending on where you're farming... Over 10 million acres of cropped land in Illinois is tiled! web.extension.illinois.edu/bioreactors/hi…

2/2 The work we did on the Canadian side of the #redrivervalley also agrees that #tiledrainage may not play a significant role in early spring flooding, may not exacerbate #phosphorus losses but elevate nitrogen losses

"Overland flow was the major pathway for #runoff (72-89% annually) and #phosphorus (>95%) losses. However, #tiledrainage may elevate #nitrogen losses (40-50%)." Check out our new study below.... #waterquality #redrivervalley
