Animal waste is among the richest sources of soil organic matter. In traditional agrarian societies, grazing techniques kept the soil rich & productive for several generations & kept the Land and the farmer healthy & wealthy. Wonderful that farm cattle are being re-enlisted as active partners to #SaveSoil & mitigate climate change impact. -Sg @peterbyck @UNCCD @cpsavesoil
