  • Something happened to the sound.

  • @signboyy if you haven't seen it by now, it's called edible estates...or look at the channel growingyourgreens

  • "The gov't owns the word organic" What a wonderful insight!

  • @crewsayer you have no proof of this. organic food production in no way means lower yields. really it's just a matter of education and resources, like water and animals for production. to think a lab which inserts poisons like pesticides and herbicides into a seed is needed to feed the world, then what a strange twilight zone world we must live in. Either way God or evolution the seed and the earth coupled with water and natural animal fertilizers will feed the world.

  • @crewsayer No. More people need to be involved in providing their own food.It should be local. This argument that it can't feed the world is based on the inappropriate model of centralized big INC Ag. More people farming to serve those within a 4hour drive WILL feed everyone and people CAN afford it by shifting their sick car dollars to better food!

  • if every farmer in the world did it his way, people would be dying of starvation, both from the lower yields, and also from the higher prices

  • Think you could go back in and correct the pronunciation of his name? Otherwise, a pretty good two minute overview of his ethos.

  • @signboyy

    Try it out, I did it. Get your soil tested first though

  • if i had a house with a yard i would turn my yard into a garden.

    not only would i know for sure that my food is completely healthy but i also would not have a lawn to mow.
