>>12849993I can confirm that sort of inefficient, redtape bullshit that plagues the US.
For instance, I work on a farm and have a friend who has a ton of goats and therefore a ton of goat manure. We also are about to cut down a lot of branches on a forest pathway that exists from one field to the next. What I want to do is to just combine all the high carbon material from the trees after mulching and shredding with the high nitrogen material of the manure to make a quick and easy early spring compost pile. However, because my manager wants to do this whole "organic" scam, I can't do that. Neither of the inputs are considered OK and require inane amounts of paperwork to get something that is OK. So instead we are going to just buy in tons of fertilizer which 90 of will not be even taken up by plants and either lost to the atmosphere or leached in nitrogen's case or highly immobilized in the soil matrix in phosphorus' case.
This sort of shit is not stable. It's also why agriculture is easily the top sources of environmental damage. The solutions are rather simple, but the created in attempt to fix the problem has now made it near impossible to actually do it.
I could go on with tons of examples in my career field alone.
