Holy shit this is a huge deal. I can't stress how badly soil health has been for a long time with agriculture thanks to colonialism. This is revolutionary
I'm an idiot and without reading anything imma celebrate the soil nerds because we need food and shit!
For fucking real, I want to feed people and shit.

'Chernozem (/ˈtʃɜːrnəzɛm/ CHUR-nə-zem),[a] also called black soil, black earth, dark earth, regur soil or black cotton soil, is a black-colored soil containing a high percentage of humus[2] (4% to 16%) and high percentages of phosphorus and ammonia compounds.[3] Chernozem is very fertile and can produce high agricultural yields with its high moisture-storage capacity.

lol I misread humus as hummus
