Drove through a huge part of the American west that has been completely ravaged by monoculture wheat and corn farming. This place would not exist if it weren’t for US federal agricultural subsidies.

There is a huge opportunity for ecosystem renewal in these places with proper livestock grazing. Within just a couple years there would be marked increases in soil fertility and local biodiversity. There would also be a massive reduction in watershed pollution as millions of metric tons of pesticides wouldn’t need to be used here anymore.

I really hope to see this trend emerge in my lifetime.
