Food Mythbusters: Do we need industrial agriculture to feed the world?

from Grist with thanks

Are you tired of hearing claims that chemical-intensive monocultures are the only way to feed the planet’s growing population? With the first in her series of “mythbusting” videos, Anna Lappé, author of Diet for a Hot Planet and occasional Grist contributor, takes on this point directly.

She argues that, in fact, a network of small-scale, independent farms using diversified, sustainable practices and a shift in the way the food we already grow gets eaten will go a long way toward solving the problem without such a heavy reliance on corporate agriculture.

Take a look and tell us what you think.

  • She is on the ball for sure. Very cool lady

    I hope that we hear more people like Vandana speak out against Monsanto.  This is an excellent and inspirational speech….

     

    “Green is not the color of money, it is the color of life.” – Vandana Shiva

     I have seen her in many dvds & other bits of real media. We have to take a leaf from her wisdom, or the UN (World Government in waiting) will simply sweep all aside with such measures as Depopulation, War, Resource Grabbing, Land Grabbing, False Famines & ultimately death for billions of us….Make no mistake this IS happening already & we the people have to pull the whole damn sick game the elites have planned for

  • PLEASE WAKE UP and SHARE THIS WISDOM..

    STAND UP or BE STOOD ON!
