"Humans have been turning seeds and soil into food for thousands of years.
We first started cultivating edible plants at the end of the last Ice Age,
roughly 12,000 years ago. Ploughing made this possible.
Ploughing, also known as tilling, is the process of turning over soil to bury
weeds, loosen the earth and bring fresh nutrients to the surface.
But ploughing, particularly over long periods, can erode the soil and make it
less healthy. This is where conservation-focused farming methods, including
no-till farming, come in.
So what is no-till farming? And does it actually improve the soil?"
