Sustaining Innovation

Technology has changed our everyday lives. Whether it's the way we make a phone, our form of entertainment, or how we perform our jobs. However, critics will point out that technology in agriculture is not a good thing. They fail to realize that technology in agriculture helps to provide an abundance of safe, affordable food in a manner that is sustainable to the environment. Take a moment to see how technology has impacted our everyday lives, and helped farmers sustain innovation.

The great thing about our food system is that you have a choice in the food you eat. If you don't want to eat from the "machine" then I'm sure there are plenty of locally grown, or even organic food options for you.

But it is important to understand that in order for organic food markets to be successful they have to compliment our conventional food system. If we are going to continue to provide food for the masses we will need both organic and conventionally grown food choices.

Family farms cover our nation. Most of the time they are working too hard to provide food for your table. They appreciate organizations speaking up for them.

I am not a machine and shouldn't be subject to a business plan when it comes to what I eat. I feel that the price of efficiency is too great- ingesting genetically modified products that are pre-disposed to be resistant to a herbicide.

Where are these so-called family farmers who are benefitting so well? Why not let them speak for themselves?
