Root causes: conservation agriculture for human and planetary health, with Professor Amir Kassam
Q: What evidence is there that conservation agriculture affects the nutritional quality of crops?
Healthy soil with diverse biomes supports balanced nutrient uptake by plants, and some studies show higher protein and nutrient densities in crops grown under conservation agriculture compared to conventional tillage systems.

Q: Can the principles of conservation agriculture be applied on a small scale, for example in gardens or allotments?
Yes, the principles are scalable; no-till can be practiced in small plots, and even allotments can follow conservation agriculture by avoiding digging, maintaining ground cover, and using diversified crops to keep soils healthy.
From controversy to clarity: the truth on soya, with Dr Mark Messina
Q: What are some common misconceptions surrounding soy, particularly regarding breast cancer risks?
