How farmers can help rescue water-loving birds https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/052525_farmers_birds/how-farmers-can-help-rescue-water-loving-birds/
As an unstable climate delivers too little water, careening temperatures and chaotic storms, the fates of human food production and birds are ever more linked — with the same climate anomalies that harm birds hurting agriculture too.

So much of our agriculture is built on top of technology that depletes pillages and poisons the soil. Once you kill off the biome in the soil, its fertility plummets.
You get more food but planting different varieties of food together then you get in a single crop system. This is just how plants in fungi in the soil biome evolved.
It’s an effective/resilient system not a profit driven one.
Bio regionalism will be key to surviving climate change.

Land use is climate change. The pesticides in the fertilizer they spray all over their fields get into the insects and get into their diets and the pesticides get into the birds nest and kill them off. It’s sort of a follow on to DDT.
