Why We Need To Stop Fertilising Our Food - Soil Expert Craig Castree

Do you have a link for the farm that did the testing? Did they write up their results with data including costs, etc? Also where does the compost come from and how much land does it require to make it? Are we looking at 1 acre of land to make compost and 1 acre of land to grow food? What's the ratio? Also, I would guess the results of that farm you mentioned included higher prices you can get for organic food, since with healthier compost-fed plants you don't need the insecticides that prevent organic certification. Is that right? If so how can we say that this compost-led revolution can truly feed the world at the prices that the world can currently afford for food?

I found this AI regarding Epigenetics In a differentiated cell, only a small percentage of DNA is typically active, with estimates suggesting that around 10-20% of genes are actively expressed due to epigenetic regulation, meaning only this portion of the DNA is being "read" and translated into proteins at any given time.
