During the Great Depression and "Dirty 30's" in Western Canada, Farmers were encouraged to plant trees around every field - to serve as wind-breaks, to stop soil erosion (the wind blowing away the dried soil), for shade and to encourage rainfall. This worked IMMENSELY WELL, and Western Canada returned to record-breaking productivity during WW2 and afterwards. Since the 1970's however - it seems many "Modern" farmers have forgotten WHY these trees were planted and have just removed them...... It's NOT going well for them.....

I live in south Western Australia and have a farm in the Great Southern. Since when have there ever been droughts in the S.W in the last 30 -40 years? The last 10 years we've had cool summers compared to previous summers so no global warming here mate. I don't know where the makers of this video are sourcing their information from, but it's news to me that the annual wheat harvest has plummeted. WA has always had a surplus which is why we are a big exporter of wheat.

Last one was easy, the year before we had the most 40 Deg days on record, 13 I think (in Perth) Average rainfall has decreased, but drought is only really seen in the northern and eastern limits of the wheat belt. But you are correct, we have seen increased crop harvests year on year almost constantly for 20 years now due to a raft of farming improvements. Bugger all rain this year so far in Perth though.

Wheat is a grass and it is being grown in the grassland regions, not formally forested areas. Grasslands cover many millions of acres around the world and they store 30% of all stored carbon. The grasslands carry herbivores both large and small animals; their populations are controlled by carnivores ( large and small). In Australia we once had giant kangaroos and diprotodons ( giant wombat like creatures) about the size of hippos to control these populations we had marsupial lions which were the size of African lionesses. There are over 12,000 species of grasses and obviously the grasslands are not monocultures. Farmers are diversifying their crops and land use to break up the endless monocultures.

As a farmer and soil scientist, who has also studied economics, I don't see a problem with "salinity" I call it poverty as that's the reason I have salinity. I have been involved in the industry all my life and now worked in the industry for 52 years. In that time our farm gate income for many products is as low as 5% as our production cost increases. Salinity is caused by low mineral levels in our soils, levels that were naturally low. By increasing our mineral levels, we would consume more water with more production, hence less salinity.

01.30.2023 - By John Reidy CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA - With wheat and barley leading the way, Australia is set for a third consecutive record grain crop and strong exports, according to a Global Agricultural Information. I doubt that this is mainly due to changes in land management.

Excellent review of Australia's land-use and public-policy crisis. With peak wheat prices and sustained demand for monocultures, this becomes an argument of profit vs. longer-term, wiser development. Australia cannot afford to ignore this challenge to its future.

In upland Scotland in the early 1990s I helped in carrying out a large scale biological survey for the then Nature Conservency Council. Two years ago I returned to the same areas I was responsible for surveying. The key species had gone from grasses to rushes and mosses indicating a much wetter environment. As this was in a nature reserve and there were no other possible causes other than higher rainfall and I have personally observed same in multiple locations I do not agree Scotland is drier.

They've recently developed a corn that grows in the tropics. Before that, corn could not be grown in the subtropical environment. It was about as successful as growing citrus in Minnesota. Corn will soon be grown in Africa, South America, and other regions straddling the equator.

Australia cries when it rains, and then lets rivers run to the Sea. Builds on flood plains then cries when there are floods! Does nothing to retain floods or build flood canals to let water elsewhere that's in Drought! So tough!

There is an answer to save the food supply. There are many You tube experts that advocate farmers should regenerate the land with fungi and graze cattle to double or triple soil organic content. There would be no need to fertilize the land. Fungi root inoculation can make all the needed N P K and the rest like Zn Ca and S.

Remember the massive LAKE that forms (occasionally) when there's exceptionally heavy rainfall? Now THAT is a spectacle! My wife is German (I'm Scottish) & we live in Perth. Our neighbours are also from elsewhere. Next door, Belgium & China. THEY recently drove all around Australia's perimeter. Then there's our other neighbours: England, Seychelles, Hungary & India. My wife would LOVE to travel all around Australia, but says the only time we could do this would be when she retires!

Last 3 years the wheat harvest has been so much bigger than expected, in WA, that the grain exporters have been forced to build extra storage silos because they can’t transport it out quick enough, nd there’s not enough ships to float it away

You Cannot eat sandalwood !

Americans call it silvopasture. You grow rows of trees for timber and shade of pasture. Grass between rows of trees for cattle and sheep. Cattle and sheep encourage fertilization of grass which retains water longer and stops erosion.

@@kellyda517 Actually carbon capture happens with well-managed 'regreening.' The soil is a great battery for carbon and the plant life does a good job of depositing it there. A well managed system would mean adopting plants dictated by the local biome, using food-producing, primarily perennial-, vine-, shrub- and tree- based polyculture system. It would be managed in part by livestock for reducing weeds, pests and adding fertility. This type of system recaptures carbon into the soil for several reasons: one is the seasonal regrowth cycle of larger plants root systems depositing large amounts of carbon. The second is the soil biota of mycelium, nematodes, bacteria etc also capturing carbon into the soil. Thirdly because we are no longer losing carbon-rich soil into the air, it builds up soil carbon quickly that way as well. Then we get the top dressing of carbon from the leaves, manure etc. Livestock raised/finished on diverse pasture also have superior nutrition, compared to several other feed types. If we include small, frequent rainwater-harvesting earthworks made from onsite materials we can increase water availability while increasing flood-, wildfire-, drought- and heat wave- resiliency. It would recharge watertables and aquifers. This would also have the knock-on benefit of more overall food, livestock feed, plant diversity, resiliency, reduce grid strain, relocalize food security, increase lumber and wood production, etc. In going away from annual ag/CAFO/monoculture/bare earth-fallow/synthetic chemical input model that releases CO² into the air we reverse the carbon loss cycle, and turn it into a carbon recharge cycle. We need to move away from synthetic chemical input as that greatly reduces carbon-capturing biota in the soil. We need to get away from the carbon capture plowing/dead earth/fallow because that means loss of soil biota, soil cover, soil cohesion, and it takes longer to get the amount of carbon capture with mature, established plants. CAFOs are bad because they create algae blooms, livestock stress and reduce fattening/'condition', extra management costs, manure management complications, more synthetic chemicals inputs, more shipping and infrastructure costs, etc. Overgrazing results in much slower regrowth of pasture and a direct loss in money as well as lower carbon capture. Monocultures need artificial lifesupport because the soil biota fails to thrive when there is a lack of soil exudates to nourish and maintain it. Science has learned a lot in recent years about the importance of healthy, diverse soil biota in producing healthy plants, managing fertility weeds, increasing overall nutrition, optimum carbon capture, etc.

Just stopping the widescale land clearing for wind and solar would help. Thousands of square kilometres of land is being bulldozed to oblivion to install industry. So many native animals are being destroyed.

There are more trees in the United States today that when the Europeans first arrived.

​@@LeafofLifeWorld Mining has increased on a massive scale, particularly coal, as a direct result of the push for wind and solar. The demand for the raw materials to build this infrastructure is causing this. 82% of all the different materials mined globally are necessary to manufacture infrastructure for the green industry. Toxic waste from cradle to grave renewables is already extremely problematic and it will become far worse with the global transition. And of course people seem comfortable to overlook the humanitarian degradation in Africa and China. Slavery is an abomination, but more than 40,000 children are working in the unregulated copper and cobalt artisanal mines in Africa, and they are dying there too. Mining is not going anywhere, they can't dig the holes fast enough. And since China manufactures most of the planet's renewables, 90% of Australia's, they will need the coal to fire up the coal-fired furnaces and power plants. They have more than a thousand coal-fired power plants and they are currently opening two new plants a week! That's a lot if C02. You see, we haven't actually reduced emissions anywhere in the world, we have simply exported them to China along with the jobs. If you think that C02 is a problem you might want to consider the increase in global shipping as a direct result of the 'green' industry. Mined materials are shipped to China from all around the globe to be processed and manufactured into renewables infrastructure. The finished products are shipped around the globe and transported to their point of installation by massive diesel trucks that travel hundreds of kilometres to and from the ports for the duration of the project, sometimes 3 years. Shipping is one of the highest contributors of C02 and this too will increase with the global transition. This is absolute madness, it's a complete farce.

What I'm suggesting is if we flood some places it causes draughts in other places.

The prediction given is catastrophic so it is necessary to start planting alternative crops such as cactus to produce cochineal, red dragon fruit and other similar crops that require low water. Also planting forest at the edges of the farms or every 10 hectare 1(one) of forestry would be helpful. We have to start seeing the best alternative to overcome the socio economic problems that will be coming in the next few years. The Government will play an important and decisive role in this problem, coordinating with rural organizations and farmers also.

Unfortunately the demand around the world for low cost food is going to continue, so deforestation is never going to reduce. I live in Thailand every year more and more forest, more accurately jungle, is burnt to clear land for crop production. This is repeated in neighbouring countries: Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia, in an attempt to reduce the poverty levels of small land owners. Not far from where I live about 80% of a significant sized mountain has been deforested, this has altered the local climate such that it's far hotter than another mountain just 60 KM away, which due to being a national park is still covered in jungle. I appreciate the need to change farming practices, but it doesn't address a more crucial and permanent problem: poverty. You can tell people as much as you like that trees are important for the long term health of the planet, but if burning down a forest will provide a crop income that will ensure your children don't go hungry, that forest is going to get burnt.

On the topic of Western Australia there is a plan for a battery solar desalination project.

Great video - Thank you. In addition Some 50% of the worlds habitable land is put over to meat production. Meat production is the leading cause of deforestation. The hole on your presentation is bringing in alien species, such as sandalwood in Australia. The likelihood is that no local species can thrive on it. For example, oak which is native to the U.K. can support up to 10,000 different animals and insects. Sycamore, which was imported supports less than a hundred types of species despite growing in the U.K. for some six hundred years. We need to eat less meat and grow more native trees and shrubs.

@@LeafofLifeWorld I think my main points were that you missed out so many key environmental considerations. And, oaks are only great when they fit into the native ecological system. That is the point. Sandalwood support some species sure... How many compared to native species? It's all about joined up ecosystems when it comes down to it. Your video was great and I thank you for it and I don't want to focus on the negatives only.

Completely eliminating food waste will probably have a better environmental impact than eliminating internal combustion engines. It’s not hard to have zero food waste. What you we can’t eat goes to the dogs and what they won’t eat goes to the compost pile.

Not a long term solution though. Overuse of underground water, for irrigation or for human use, causes the sinking of the soil level. Indonesia is moving their admin capital Djakarta for that reason. And the same problem is occurring in some areas of the Mekong Delta, where lack of water supply makes a number of rice growers plant one crop of rice per year instead of the usual two crops a year as before.
