I am really fascinated by your essay. I should confess right now that this is a sophisticated and scientific piece of work! The issues addressed do fit in the Earth Observation and Engineering framework and thus deserve a significant amount of care. True that our future is not inevitability, but it indeed is a choice.

Can you explain to me further what you mean while saying that:”Once the levels of consumption and degradation are measured, a set optimal level of each must be agreed upon or else the findings are rendered useless, thus leading to a sustainable society around.”

Also, can you please elaborate further the ecological choice between the dependable high biomass/production ratio characterizing natural ecosystems and the precarious high production/biomass ratio that old paradigm agriculture desperately strives to maintain as it inevitably approaches the Liebig limit of the soil.

Allow me, however, to raise one concern: As you have been talking about the expression ‘sustainable development’, are you aware of the contrast existing in that expression? I too still believe that to develop suppose to breakthrough in order to add some superior value of something/system while to sustain means to converse the ingredients that made something or a system. How do you reconcile the contradiction found in this expression? Perhaps, this contrast may make your new paradigm shift problematic if not well resolved.

As you may already know the notion of sustainable agriculture is dear to me such that I will be more than happy to exchange some views with you if you too are interested in thinking between those lines. For further communication, you can email me at “d.tshimba@umu.ac.ug” to keep touch with one another.

Otherwise, I do appreciate your indomitable contribution towards Earth Sustainability.

Thanks indeed,

Dave

Thank you.

Well done. You have explored several pressing issues here in your essay, and put forward some interesting solutions.
However, I am forced to say that there is little critical analysis of the subject matter you are dealing with. The majority of the information given here is more factual, than critical or analytical.

Otherwise, very good essay. You may as well post your comment on my essay too, such that we may exchange ideas.

Thank you.
