    I'm so surprised! I don't think this is news on account of this being the stuff my mother babbled about 26 years ago when she was re-schooling into botany.

    It's why people talk about small scale agriculture and permacultures.

    Not sure small scale farming really solves that, but one reason for perms cultures and agroforestry is they're more resilient and require less water to produce the same quantity of food.

    Agro forestry is a concept which is getting way too little focus, considering the risk of large scale draughts becoming more common
