A Little Bit Of Every System Can Make For Better Farming
It seems that there are more and more terms for different types of farming practices coming on stream. Many of these methods have been around for a long time but maybe never had a specific term or category associated with them and some are regaining popularity.

Distribution Patterns – Soil Biodiversity At Aggregate Scale – Part 2
In addition to microbial diversity and distribution, variation in soil aggregates also affects the functions carried out by microorganisms. For example, the composition of free-living bacteria that fix atmospheric nitrogen into soils, differs with the size of soil aggregates.

The Dark Side Of “Regenerative”
Much like “organic” or “sustainable,” food labeled as “regenerative” or “regeneratively grown” you might think would set it apart from most other foods grown with chemicals, pesticides, and other means that may harm the earth.

If Regenerative Agriculture Is So Good, Why Isn’t Everybody Doing It? – Part 2
Biodiversity, carbon sequestration and better food are not add-ons or trade-offs; they are part of the regenerative farming system which enables more profitable farming.

Distribution Patterns – Soil Biodiversity At Aggregate Scale – Part 1
Soil is an incredibly complex and diverse organisation of pores and particles, which influence the organisms that live within. These particles, known as ‘soil aggregates’, consist of mineral and organic materials bound together, and are generally defined by their size and their stability in water.

The Importance Of Sleep – Part 2
During the night, your body passes through four to six cycles of sleep. Each cycle is comprised of four stages. Each cycle lasts approximately 90 minutes. Passing through the cycles without disruption is important to cellular rejuvenation, memory consolidation, and restoration of physical and emotional reserves.
