What if nature held the key to agriculture that is both productive and sustainable? Faced with climate challenges, resource depletion, and the need to feed a growing global population, agriculture must reinvent itself. This book proposes an innovative path: biomimicry. By drawing inspiration from natural ecosystems, it becomes possible to design agricultural practices that are more resilient, require fewer inputs, and regenerate soil—going beyond no-till farming and cover crops. Through a rigorous, scientific approach, the author explores concrete strategies for transforming agricultural systems– including:
- accelerating organic carbon sequestration through a stoichiometric analysis of organic soil amendments and fertilizers
- integrating inorganic carbon fluxes innovations to turn them into a tool for “permanent” carbon sequestration
- optimizing the phyllosphere to limit the use of pesticides and synthetic nitrogen fertilizers
- implementing “nutriprotection”: maximizing yields while protecting crops through the addition of trace elements and minerals.
Intended for farmers, technicians, students, and professionals in the agribusiness sector, this reference book offers immediately actionable solutions based on the laws of life. It is essential reading for anyone seeking to combine agronomic performance with ecological transition.
