Direct link to the video for those on mobile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCHqnkR7600 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCHqnkR7600 The problem they mention is the soil being exposed to direct sun and the solution they propose is that farming should be done under tree shade. That sounds absolutely baseless and nonsensical... and counter-productive. Look at these videos for a completely different view of soil protection: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAoVZoZpqro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAoVZoZpqro - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z75A_JMBx4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z75A_JMBx4

It's not senseless at all. Cows also prefer shade rather than direct sun when it's warm. Like we do. :-) There are no unique best way to protect soils. Different approaches may work on the same spot depending what you want to produce. In all cases, even if one approach may really be by far the best in one location, another approach will be required a few miles away.

  > Cows also prefer shade rather than direct sun when it's warm Yeah, because cows are not plants. Plant actually need sunlight to survive. > There are no unique best way to protect soils Yes, but Sadguru is going with already popular "Team Trees" nonsense. Trees are terrible for grasslands. You will absolutely destroy the grassland ecosystem if you randomly plant trees... primarily because trees block the sun. All our grains are grass. They need direct sunlight. Shade kills them. That's why there's no grass in dense forests.
