Our Arable Field - Endangered by Heavy Agricultural Machinery?

zweidimensionales bewegtes Bild

Agricultural machinery becomes heavier resulting in compacted soils, loss of microfauna, erosion and lowered root penetration. The film follows the effects with input from soil scientists, biologists and farming consultants. Results include that ploughing often increases the damage.
