Why landowners partner with Zeons
In the US, after 100 years of annual cropping, up to 66% of topsoil has been lost. Topsoil loss of this magnitude can translate into a loss of productivity potential of 60%, despite the addition of fertilizers. The reduced productive capacity of land makes it necessary to convert more uncultivated lands to agriculture. Perennial crops like jathropha can protect topsoil, and even help rehabilitate barren, arid land.
