Abstract

The article discusses how to take advantage of climate change to produce better crops at a farm in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. Topics covered include the benefits of mechanical turning of the soil, the doubling of the solar radiation captured to heat the farm, and the benefits of improving soil organic carbon such as better water holding capacity, more effective cation-exchange capacity and better soil health.
