Shocked by Diana's proposal to intensify our agricultural methods. How about making sacrifices to restore biodiversity after biodiversity has sacrificed so much for us?? We can choose to have less children! We can look inward instead of outward for our freedom, happiness and peace. Every action we take can be a more conscious one. As buddha said, "sit there, dont just do something." But please Diana, your idea to increase pesticide and herbicide use will further destroy soil, water & communities
