Do you also sometimes wonder if “Brown Revolution” is a better descriptor than Green Revolution of the net effect of agricultural “advances” in terms of scale and inputs on American landscapes? It’s something I’ve been ruminating on as I’ve driven through various agricultural regions - Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and even my home state of NJ these last couple of months. Despite all the recent money and energy on cover crops, the contrasts that are so visually apparent at a landscape level at this time of year serve as inspiration for this month’s newsletter. Or maybe it’s just my my mother’s voice echoing in my brain. She was forever discussing optimizing ratios of greens and browns in the collection of composters ringing the house she raised me in. Is it any wonder I went on to do a PhD in biogeochemistry? Regardless, are you interested in more discussions like this?
