Recently, I have been reading about genetically altered bacteria being used to treat diseases in agriculture. To me this is scary. Reestablish abundant microbial activity in the soil with the use of live microbe products used on the soil and seed, and with foliar applications to the plants. More efficiently manage the application of fertilizers and chemicals needed in crop production. Our food is more efficiently digested due to the presence of abundant amino acids.
Crops grown biologically have a longer storage life which relates to a healthier food source.
It is not necessary to use many of the chemicals on biologically grown food which are consumed as residues. Biological management of soils has been scientifically proven for many years but it has been easier to apply fertilizers and chemicals than to use good management practices. The agricultural optimum period that witnessed abundance and profit in the past is changing due to climate, soil mismanagement and the speed in which the changes are happening. In combination with natural changes, we have been and are still destroying the very soil that is the sustainer of all life on this planet, the soil on which we depend for our food, livelihoods and sustainable future for coming generations. Further, we are contaminating our ground water supplies and overall world environment with continued excessive chemical and fertilizer use to produce food.
