Why too much phosphorus in Americaâs farmland is polluting the countryâs water

Total removal of livestock from upland grasslands reduces mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC), the most stable form of soil carbon, despite increasing fast-cycling carbon in vegetation.

Tanzania is losing fertile land to soil erosion: whatâs happening and what can be done
I figured someone, somewhere, is trying to grow food that doesnât murder the soil. Someone has terabytes of wildlife camera monitoring and drowning in footage. Someone has a brilliant idea and absolutely no software skills or budget.
Maybe we can help.
Weâre just people who can code, but maybe âjust people who can codeâ might be exactly what someone needs right now.
Weâre already collaborating with some rewilding projects, and weâd like to do more of it and meet more people trying to do things that matter.
The few people we talked to, who are fighting the important fights, are using broken tools, or no tools at all.
Maybe we can be of use to people protecting and restoring ecosystems, innovating sustainable food systems, or those tracking whatâs actually happening to the living world around us.
We donât have all the answers. I donât even have most of the questions most days, and Iâm trying my best to learn. But weâre good at software, we can build things that work, and weâd rather build things that matter.
To end this thread, Iâm casting a wide net but if youâre trying to save one specific part of the world and software is the thing standing between you and doing it betterâplease talk to us! We want to meet you.
