floody farming — FLOOD & DROUGHT II

Soil organic matter is crucial to absorb water on our fields. Modern chemical farming techniques have reduced soil organic matter on Britains farmed land to an alarming low. Rain water speeds of and soil silts up rivers both causing flood and drought. We need soil to stay on our fields and retain the rain, rather than flooding towns.
