    Knowledge is power, and this kid never would have learned any of that in standard schools. Parents need to put more time in to raising children to think for themselves and ask questions.

    I love that Birke has figured this out at such a young age. A recent report by the UN confirmed that the only way we can feed our world AND have a world to live on is by organic farming.

    i doubt organic farming alone can yield enough food to feed almost 7 billion people and growing

    Kinda odd how he mentioned 'CAFO' farms and everyone laughed. Kinda the opposite reaction he was expecting, I'm sure.

    Here is what agriculture is facing in today's society: Misinformed, propaganda pushing, "anti-agriculturalists."

    While this child has good points about knowing where you food comes from it is truly sad that he has clearly been pushed into speaking out against an industry he knows nothing about. I encourage everyone to participate in their own non-biased research because the truth is in the facts not a one sided, memorized, agenda heavy speech given by an 11 year old child.
