There is a difference in kind between complex, integrated, low input, free range systems of land, soil, organic matter, fungi & macroinvertebrates, plants & animals, and ….. industrial high energy input feedlot systems which abuse each of those - well, and people, community & local economy as well. (And it’s destroys many functions and replaces them with yet more techno- and energy-inputs.) Each provides functions to the other in an Agroecological system. This is one of the best pictures I’ve seen to capture that integrated whole. The functions & flows that connect and build & restore & create something new.
