Brazil's large farms have long pioneered a green cultivation technique that boosts growth. Now its small farmers - and possibly the rest of the world - are following suit. The method is called direct drilling, no-tillage or zero tillage (ZT). The technique is in part praised for fixing carbon in the soil, thereby reducing the amount of carbon dioxide - a greenhouse gas - released into the air. It also prevents soil erosion and therefore demands less irrigation.

- In the same thousands of Brazilian articles, published all over the world, it says that Brazil has by far the most hectares in ZT and other countries start to copy the brazilian ZT technique..
Looks like another Brazilian lie and cheating as per the above article, as the USA have more hectares in ZT than Brazil.
- Curious conclusion for Africa for crop residues and cattles. Has Brazil not the largest herd of cattles ?????? smile
- And if ZT is so good for the soil why has Brazil 100 millions hectares of degraded and unprofitable pastures and "only"
25 millions hectares in ZT ????????
- Interesting to know also that a German and not a Brazilian promoted ZT originally in Brazil. Another truth explained differently in the Brazilian propaganda for ZT !!!!!!!!
Conclusion : in my view Brazilians exagerate the reality and the truth a little bit too much and lie a little bit too much !
And Brazilians caress their navel much more than they should, and they do it by lying and hiding and cheating everyone !
Hmmmmm......Brazilian mentality will never change !!!! So they are !
