What is the DOK Trial?
DOK: Dynamic, Organic, Conventional (“Konventionell” in German).
The DOK trial provides invaluable results, especially for biodynamic agriculture. What makes the DOK trial so unique, what does the experimental set-up look like, who runs it and what do the results tell us about the agricultural systems studied? These questions will be answered in the following overview article.
Glyphosate – its long-term impact on Soil Health
The two papers linked here provide important information on studies and research outcomes on what has been called the “train wreck” caused by the use of Glyphosate.
Soil Carbon – putting Carbon back where it belongs
Carbon is naturally sequested in topsoil via biological processes surrounding actively growing roots of pasture grasses and cereals. Encouraging these processes is cheap, efficient, and ecologically beneficial.
Brain Changes – research article
Stimulating commentary on research findings relating to human brain changes over recent decades.
Organic Agriculture Can Feed the World
Data from the advanced agricultural economies of North America, Australia and Europe show that best practice organics can deliver equal to and significantly better yields than current conventional agricultural practices.
