Sustainable Agriculture

Cabois is nestled in the foothills of some impressive mountains. Along the road, we passed many vegetable gardens. Looking up at the steep mountainsides, I could see planted fields. Being a student of ecology and an amateur vegetable gardener, I took some interest. I saw one field being tilled quite heavily and fear that it may be overworked which will lead to loss of nutrients from the soil. I was still more concerned by the manner of farming on the steep slopes. That type of terrain requires special practices to preserve the land. Erosion of the topsoil is irreversible and devastating for the crops. When I get home, I will research best practices for agriculture. If you have knowledge and experience, please get in touch.
