Desertification happened with draining of the lake in central California and Mexico City. Corn stalks biomass for energy is just introduced and removes more nutrients from a soil area.
Herds make land useful that is not easily arable such as too rocky or too much grade. I was surprised the left “Transfarmation” went into depth on failings of factory meat farms. Specifically large farm fecal handling. Year old farms and independent are getting priced out by large corporation’s pricing control.
I am concerned how changes cause catastrophic reduction of food supply such as government overthrown when fertilizers were banned by Sri Lanka and only 25% of food production was harvested. Agriculture loss from urbanization and increase of government domain is a slower trend but cities are tending to higher density even though replacement population is under 80% so housing decay still uses land.
This is going to take a while to implement... because, well... yanno, government is involved.
New resources for implementation will be required, which will upset the existing supply chains for: NPK, lime and possibly rock dust to start transforming the soil - as well as seed, new equipment, such as no-till seed drills to keep underground fungi networks intact etc.
Education. This is a big one... Farmers will need the resources available to learn AND have access to Extension services for consultation.
Other things... including interruption of existing "shit" food supply that some Americans are addicted to, like sugared cereal and snack bs loaded with poison to make it palatable AND shelf life.
Salatin represents a serious paradigm shift and there's much to be done to keep supply chains stable as well as reeducation of the population regarding nutrition. I expect there to be some kicking and screaming from "shit addicts"...
