Story at-a-glance
- The “faster, bigger, cheaper” approach to food production is unsustainable and contributing to the destruction of our planet and your health
- It is time to shift our food paradigm toward one that is more focused on natural, organic and independent community farms that practice polyculture, as opposed to monoculture
- Monoculture agricultural practices damage the soil, increase dependence on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, encourage the use of GMOs, and contribute to antibiotic resistant bacterial strains
- The argument that small independent farms cost more to operate and are less profitable is a myth that has been disproven by science
- Government subsidizes corn growers but not veggie growers, and massive food production monopolies like ADM and Cargill control the food chain from seed to plate, essentially holding farmers captive
