Letter Re: National Geographic's Cover Story on Soil and Food

Permalink

JWR,
Here's a link to the September 2008 National Geographic cover story about the world's fragile soils and their diminishing capacity to feed 6.5 billion+ people as well as cautionary examples of places where the soils can no longer support the existing population due to poor stewardship in the past.

Pages 92-93 of the hardcopy edition have a great fold out map showing soil fertility areas around the world -- a good retreats and relocation general shopping reference (although certainly not detailed enough for researching specific properties). My Best, - Lee in Hurricane Alley
