I don't think that there's any question that our oil-heavy, fertilizer-driven farming of today has to revert to something sane and sustainable. And there's also no question that yields per hectare on organic grounds can match or even best anything the factory farmers can do.
ReplyDeleteBut the factory farmers are going to fight it with everything they have. The patenting of seeds is one way they will fight the world finding a self0-sufficiency route; they have many more, and we will eventually fight it out. I don't see how we avoid it, unless politicians somehow acquire the stones to stand up to them.
My worry is that politics is money driven and the Al Gores of this world are few and far between. But at the same time, the wealthy do seem to be evolving something that resembles an environmentally concious way of thinking. The approach of the truths told our children at home and at school will eventually lead to a world that adopts a less destructive path.
