The Need To Grow
A healthy choice for you, your family, and birds: Consider purchasing organic food. Nearly 70% of produce sold contains pesticides.
After WWII, there was an excess of bomb making material which was turned in to fertilizer, an excess of nerve gas which was turned in to pesticides, so the military industrial complex moved in to the agricultural industrial complex and forced a model of chemical dependency.
Industrial agriculture is a war against the earth because it is a war against all species since you’re bringing more chemicals in to food production, and all they’re doing is killing.
- Agriculture is the most destructive human activity on the planet
- We have an estimated 60 years of farmable soil left on the planet due to unsustainable farming
- 30 football fields of soil are lost every minute!
- 70% of the planets soil has already been destroyed – at this rate the earth runs out of farmable soil in 60 years
- A healthy tablespoon of soil contains an astonishing 6 BILLION micro-organisms!
- The global fertilizer market is worth $170 BILLION!
- 97% of food waste ends up in landfills
