Let us not forget the importance of syntropic agriculture practices for sustainability. Tree-based food production is the most effective way to achieve a healthy and biodiverse ecosystem on the veganic farm, and such food forest systems don't require ploughing by anyone, human or non-human.

“The good news is that in conventional agriculture, which is the vast majority, there is a lot to gain,” Wim van der Putten, soil ecologist and NIOO professor, said in a statement. “On all farms, including organic ones, it is important at this point not to cultivate the soil too intensively. For example: ploughing less. Inverting the soil during ploughing is a very big disruption for soil life.”
