There are a host of decent scientists out there doing real work in habitat management, including me. ;-) Really, I've done more hands-on research in native plant habitat restoration and management in the last few years than Mr. Moore has done in a lifetime.

Letting land lay fallow is a practice that has been part of "the knowledge" of how farming is done for the 50+ years I have been on the planet. The basic idea of a Sabbath for the land is sound but this cannot be done all at one time for a number of reasons so the Biblical prescription never seriously has been implemented over any large area as it seems to imply that this is to be done all at once just like humans observe the Sabbath. I am sure this is not what you are recommending in your book, and I am sure you are a contributor in you specific field

I just don't see your point for attacking someone who is telling the truth because you feel that you have a better version of the truth. When lies are all people know, then folks need to find the truth in ways they can understand it.

Your suggestions may be very successful, but you are first insisting that they accept your frame of reference before considering your ideas. This is a sure ticket to staying marginalized.

Although all of the translations of the Bible say that the land is to "rest and lie fallow" (including Jewish translations, that is not what Exodus 23:11 says in Hebrew. It says "release and abandon" which is not even close to the same. It is a social prescription with an environmental outcome far more sophisticated than anything you can imagine.

If I told you that the principal reason for the Sabbath for the Land was military, would you believe it? I don't think so, but it is the truth. That is because until Shemitta was written, NOBODY understood what it was truly about for a number of truly tragic historical reasons. There is an excellent rationale for why everyone was to perform it the same year. So, why don't you try reading the material on the site instead of making such a supposition?

I am not "attacking" Mr. Moore. What I said was true. He associates with a claque of globalists and believes in "reasonable" regulation. Whatever that means is necessarily subjective. I am not a fan of politically derived subjective solutions.

I don't think my post insisted on anything. It did criticize regulation as a means of socialization, which is what it is, control being equivalent to ownership.
