A sustained disruption of traffic through Hormuz would not simply constitute an energy crisis. It would also represent a fertiliser shock (where prices go up dramatically and supply goes down) – and, by extension, a direct risk to global food security.
No till farming significantly reduces the need for fertilizer, while reducing costs for farmers and reducing water pollution.
It was a cause championed by honest work farmer guy meme too:
is there a way to do no-till if your soil is in the clay part of the triangle? or should i just plant perennials like artichokes?
my farming textbook says i should use furrow irrigation. that demands a little tilling.
