Rethinking
Agriculture
We
all eat. Yet few consumers know
what goes into our food supply
and what is behind the spiraling
loss in food quality. Consumers
and producers are faced with challenges
that require a fearless moral inventory
of our food supply due to climate
change, peak oil, and economic
drift. The
health of a nation’s topsoil
becomes the health of it’s
people.
These
issues combined have lead to a
worldwide condition of soil bankruptcy
and ultimately a massive loss in
human nutrition. The deepening
dependency on chemicals and crop
protection products has become a
band-aid substitute for good farming
practices. Beyond political interests,
food labels, industry profits and
the media, farmers and consumers
need to relearn the fundamentals
about soil and crop nutrition as
it really works. “Weeds, insects
and diseases are not due to a lack
of pesticides, they are the messengers”.
Once
on the path to soil recovery we
can rebuild real health and original
wealth while developing skills & resources
for local food independence. |
