with you felicity,

we ahve bought a block of ground that has been severely damaged by past 
agricultural interests namely cattle grazing, and like you we are just 
starting with the planting of wind breaks and creating habitat etc.,.

i just wonder when science ever takes into account the damage done by 
unsustaianable agriculture while they work out the dollar value per input. 
in this case here i reckon the agriculturist who made the profits and did 
the damage should be made to repair it, then if they took that into their 
scientific accounting maybe the venture wouldn't have been viable in the 
first place.

seems to me that science works within very narrow boundries and usually get 
the results that whom ever is paying for the study wants. and the 
environment would be a lot healthier just maybe.

my opinion
