Feed the WHOLE World

Feed the World.  Originally Bob Geldof's concert, now the catchphrase introduced into our consciousness by Monsanto, you'll hear it everywhere.  If you are not conscious that you have been brainwashed you may be using it yourself.

EXCITING AND UPLIFTING STUFF - a film has just come out which will allow us to answer the question, how do we feed the world without resorting to intensive farming with petrochemically produced pesticides and herbicides.  It's called The Harvests of the Future by Marie Monique Robin, it hasn't arrived yet at Amazon UK, but it exists in English and I've ordered 2 copies, one to keep and one to lend.

The myth goes like this:

  • Only intensive agriculture using petrochemically produced pesticides and herbicides can feed the world, will be able to feed the world when the world population reaches 9 billion, we've got to be realistic.
  • Organic, sustainable agriculture is all very well, but it can't feed the world.

But the truth is so much more uplifting, please readjust your feed the world view:
YES AGROECOLOGY CAN FEED THE WORLD

AND NOT ONLY THAT!

  • ONLY agroecology can feed the world

    Leading scientist says agroecology is the only way to feed the world

  • Industrial agriculture is not only less productive,less efficient and more expensive in real terms, it is killing the world
  • The economics of mass production by developed countries tends to mean in practice Feed the Rich, while the rest of the world goes without.  T
Mm, that's better, we get the slogan back and we get things back in order.

BEST DOCUMENTARY I'VE EVER SEEN please watch this, for humanity's sake.  I've asked Amazon.uk why they don't have it yet, please ask them too, because we can't wait for this film!
