i have not looked and verified at the exact numbers i tend to believe is true
all the forest that was in the 15 century is half the forest today
a study case - the wide crop/ grains gathering tractor that has increased the quantity of production
because the size is wide and favors flat surfaces this might have also favored deforstation
what if this is being reinvented to handle crop inside forest, i mean the wide spread field crops should be mixed with forests and the tractor redesigned to go agile between trees
forest capture carbon and brings rains
this project is a proposal for plantation of a trillion tree
https://trilliontrees.org/
i think is an emergency to plant trees (entire new forests)
