The Earth and Leaf Document Library
The Earth and Leaf reference library contains links to a wealth of articles researched from the internet by our staff. Generally they are of serious relevance, occasionally they get in simply because we think they are interesting or even funny. We also add our own editorial comment to each article, explaining its relevance. We always reference our sources, authors and all images. We would like to thank all these photographers, authors, journalists and researchers for their fantastic work.
Our subject material is scientifically accurate and factually proven. Many subjects are covered, particularly climate change, sustainable agriculture and farming systems. We now know that our planetary biodiversity and our ecosystems are essential to climate stability and we mess around with them at our peril.
The UK itself has some unique challenges such as our upland hill farming systems which require radical overhaul. Politically we have this crazy idea that we must grow all our own food. That is not possible and is also poor use of resources and puts terrible pressure on our wildlife, wetlands and watercourses.
There’s a lot of environmental protection stuff in here too. You will see that we are passionate about habitat rehabilitation. However, rewilding is a term we do not think is acceptable because it implies we are anti farming which is far from the case. Farming does have to change in order for our world to survive and this is covered extensively in the Earth and Leaf blog. This will be driven by absolutely necessary changes in the human diet. Without those changes we cannot halt global warming. Happy reading!
