Comment:
I applaud the state for recognizing the serious state our lands are in and taking steps to heal the situation. What has become glaringly apparent are some missing components of healthy ecosystems that nature has shown us. 1. The inclusion of herds of animals on the land and their vitally important impact on the health of the soils and entire system. 2. Biodiversity. It has been shown that both trees, shrubs, pasture and crops in between, all grow better and are more healthy than any grown alone. Silvoforest, agroforest and related concepts are getting there but do not compare with multistory, multi species plant communities. Annual crops between rows of multistory agro producing plant groups will also benefit from the improved fertility in the soil. There are many working with these important realizations. Included are two that are helping make tremendous land fertility and economic restoration. It would be a benefit to the state to include their concepts in training and implementation of these concepts. michael kersten ph 916-761-4016
