The corporations that sell the synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, and agricultural tools currently used are the ones that tell us that genetic engineering is the only way our increasing population will be fed. These corporations have created, manufactured, and sold their harmful products and methods to farmers, and now these same farmers must continue to purchase more and more toxic product to combat the damage being done.
The problems:
- Pests become resistant, so you need to use more pesticides.
- Animals become sicker, so you need to use more antibiotics.
- Soil loses its fertility, so you need to add chemical products.
State of the art, sustainable farming will end these practices. They build healthy and sustainable systems, so there is less dependency on synthetic, chemical products. By rotating a variety of crops and using natural fertilizers and pesticides like neem, farmers can manage pests and nourish the soil in a sustainable, environmentally friendly way.
