Full of stories about farming practices that Maarten has observed first hand, you will discover in this VIDEO …

• Major problems in soils of modern farming worldwide affecting productivity
• How everything is linked with everything else in the production system
• Why farms have weeds, insects, diseases and resistance to chemicals
• How to remineralise the soil and balance chemistry with biology for good physics
