Towards understanding long-term impacts of indigenous agriculture on soils: Hawai`i as a model system


Towards understanding long-term impacts of indigenous agriculture on soils: Hawai`i as a model system
April 22, 2021

Growing recognition of the tremendous impacts of our modern agricultural system has spurred an interest in understanding the impacts of agriculture on soils and soil health. Indigenous agriculture, which in many cases has been practiced for centuries or millennia on the same land, provides opportunities to understand the long-term impacts and sustainability (or not) of these systems. Hawai`i in particular is an unparalleled system in which to examine these impacts due to the tremendous and highly organized diversity of substrate age, climate, and the resulting ecologies. This talk covers and overview of the intensive Hawaiian rainfed systems and the previous and ongoing work exploring the interactions between soils, agriculture and society over time. ....
