It's never too late for academia to catch up with what a lot of us have known for a very long time - that soil is vital for the health of the planet. In so many ways, and in the following terrific article from Yale University, scientists have "discovered" that putting the carbon back into the soil (yep - that's the carbon we let escape by employing ill-advised agricultural techniques) we may be able to arrest climate change and at the same time make the soil healthier for our agriculture too. A win-win situation if ever I heard one.
