Recently I visited the Machakos area of Kenya and saw steep terraced hillsides, with the terraces protected by grasses and trees; maize being intercropped with leguminous perennials, residues being returned to the soil surface. And all this happening at scale, just so impressive!

Really interesting talk from Alex Vickers on the soils of Glamorgan's Sophia Gardens and the soil physics behind it.
