Description
‘The Tipping Point’
‘One thing the early explorers, squatters, settlers, and selector’s diaries all had in common when describing the land and landscape of the new world in the early 19th century was the soil: “The consistency of peasy; the waggons would cut through it six and eight inches deep, or more”.’
‘The early pioneers, were in fact describing the original carbon rich organic humus layer; or more correctly: the Mycorrhizal Fungi Mycelium. One hundred and fifty years later: with modern day broad acre cultivation techniques being employed on a never before seen, industrialized scale, an intact mycelium is a rarity; amounting to no more than a fraction of one percent of what is currently considered viable arable land.
The ‘tipping point’, due to the advent of Glyphosate in the early 1970’s, resulted in modern farming techniques becoming the exclusive dominion of the multinational fertilizer, chemical, and machinery manufacturers’.
‘It is of no fault of the mycelium, that after 150 years of net nutrient removal by way of traditional grazing practices, and a total lack of respite from hoofed animal stock compaction: the bio-dynamically diverse insulating humus layer and native host pastures have degraded to be but a mere shadow, or facsimile of what they once were. Long gone are the days where the kangaroo and wallaby grasses, standing higher than the wagon wheels, brushed the saddles of the horses and the legs of their riders as they traversed the land’.
‘Nor is it of any fault of the mycelium, that today’s unimproved native pasture ground (what is left of it) is dominated by a plethora of low fertility native indicators such as spear grass and foreign invasive weeds, that are in their own right: a modern-day agronomist’s wet dream come true’.
‘Given soil organic levels are present and tested in the form of carbons, that in themselves: have taken from the beginning of time to achieve their current levels; and cultivation, by nature of its invasiveness: can completely oxidize those same stored carbons in the space of a few short years, the writing is on the wall: “Once the mycelium is lost to cultivation, no amount of cultivation is ever going to bring it back”.’
Following the devastating worldwide droughts of the 2020’s, and the apocalyptic global freeze that occurred in the 2030’s: the point of no return had been comprehensively breached.
