Looks like this will be a great talk on what's goin' down underground.

First they want to get rid of farms and grow everything inside, then get rid of farmers by investing in robots. Now they're figured out how to grow food with no sun. phys.org/news/2022-06-artifi…

Having gardened organically for more than two decades, I’d always added compost to my beds. I also planted cover crops... But now, with no till, I was taking the final step toward “regenerative agriculture.”"
