Apply composts and manures to increase soil organic matter stocks. Improve pasture/rangelands through grazing, vegetation and re management both to reduce degradation and increase soil organic matter. Cultivate perennial grasses (60-80% of biomass below ground) rather than annuals (20% be- low ground). Restore and protect agricultural wetlands. Agro-ecology is a discipline that uses ecological theory to design, manage and evaluate ag- ricultural systems that are ...
