Abstract
‘Modern Agriculture,’ the Chemical & Machine Dependent Farming Model That is Killing Everything
Turns out, what you don’t know can hurt you.
Glyphosate is just one of many chemical solutions, formulated by big food, to address issues caused by a completely off-balanced monoculture farming model. Where we got monoculture farming from I will never guess, it certainly was not from nature. How selected individuals who care about food and plants and animals, came together and developed a model that kills the soil, kills the pollinators, discolors (among other things) the monkeys and is linked directly to cancer now in us, is beyond me, but that is what we have.
For those like myself, living in Panama, studying the ecosystem here, should know of the piece from October of last year, titled saying, that humanity was the cause of a 60% decrease in the earth’s wildlife since the 70’s. The article exclaims that,
“Species population declines are especially pronounced in the tropics, with South and Central America suffering the most dramatic decline, an 89 percent loss compared to 1970,” reads the report. “Freshwater species numbers have also declined dramatically, with the Freshwater Index showing an 83% decline since 1970.”
This coverage didn’t mention chemical herbicides and pesticides – an industry in the U.S alone of $30 billion (across the top 700 agricultural chemicals companies), as having a part in this, instead the study was figuring population increase and other factors. Populations today almost exclusively eat farmed produce in every category, not many at all eat from the wild.
It is that serious now, we have fairly conclusive tests in Costa Rica that these chemicals, used near to pineapple, banana, African palm, and other large monoculture crop systems are changing the colors of the howler monkey’s fur. What we aren’t killing in our wildlife, we are deforming and this means that the effects will be inter-generational.
The real head buster is we are killing and damaging ourselves.
theGuardian: Monsanto Suit Over Covering Up Known Cancer-Causing of Chemical, May 22, 2018
The Guardian, earns its name once again covering this important issue of ‘glyphosate’ the cancer-causing agent we all test highly positive for. This glyphosate is dropped from airplanes sprayed from sprinklers, and this blanketing of chemicals one would think would out-do the gardeners’ use of the stuff on no edible landscapes. The sheer insanity that this product was ever developed used, and continued to be used through years of public outcry, is unparalleled. This product however intention-ed or justified; is effectually forced poisoning, finding and supporting permaculture farming could never be more important.
Who is Fighting Back?
To take on the giant, a gardener and groundskeeper who was ignorant to the dangers of the glyphosate chemical in RoundUp, garden spray.
“Round-up” is a term I know from my home in New Mexico, which means to round up the cattle together for slaughter.
On 18 June, Gardener Dwayne Johnson will become the first person to take the world-wide seed and chemical company to trial to face the allegation that they have spent decades hiding known cancer-causing truths of its popular Roundup herbicide, a claim they profusely deny.
I met one guy down here in Panama who loved this stuff, and my urban gardening partner in crime in the city, told me he noticed a lot of “if one dose is good, three doses is better,” ideology in the farmers, landscapers, and urbanites here. This chemical is in everything everywhere in the centrally distributed, mono-culture food supply. One person has taken the largest food threat on the globe to court on it,
Most farmers in every country in the world now, farm mono-culture farms, with American or European Agriculture chemicals and say that without the chemicals they could not compete. They are right. They just don’t understand that the reason why is that, monoculture farming is a mistake to begin with, it is a system of farming that incites problems that must be addressed with chemicals. It’s starting to look like an age-old trick nowadays. As we approach 2020 we can hope and maybe even figure things to become a bit clearer, or we can grab a shovel hit a farm, and take the reins back over our lives bio-revolutionizing ourselves, healing ourselves in the eloquent disguise of gardening.
We need to take the steps we can take as individuals to get away from this chemical allowance. It seems all too late for Mr. Johnson who has been diagnosed with progressive cancer, but it may not be too late for you. It is definitely not too late for our children- we need to aggressively replace this model for how we get food on the table.
Either way, the next step is clear, find for yourself, for your friends, a permaculture farm near you, and start buying from there, save your self some money likely also, and buy food that was loved for your loved ones. You can also rid your life of these chemicals, buy taking seeds or stalk from the sprayed fruit or vegetable, growing a new fruit or vegetable plant, not using the chemicals on that plant and eating from that new plant.
You can rid your body of this chemical through the Nutritional Diversity diet. You can read more, and learn more about this new diet and nutritional science, throughout this site, and we hope you do. Through these methods, dieters will be able to slowly but surely rid themselves of this drastically powerful cancer-causing agent in all of us!
Finally, after plenty of suffering of many, Mr. Dwayne Johnson received 289 million dollars after the courts hearing doctors and specialists, for one year. In that time of 2018 these witnesses and experts were able to fiercely overturn the idea that glyphosate was not harmful to humans. The Environmental Protection Agency, concluded just in September 2017 from a decades-long assessment of glyphosate risks, that “the chemical not likely carcinogenic to humans.”
Still no mention of the pollinators or monkeys receiving any dollars..
Where we are at with this now.
Making decisions in the city office about the living earth has to be one of humanity’s greatest disconnects. It is right next to exiting nature and entering the city in the idea of getting better.
The now past court cases have made strong, direct ties that the chemical kills healthy gut bacteria. I would figure the chemical is killing most of the healthy stuff long before ingested in the produce, and long after ingested in the body. That kind of chemical has been shown to reside lifetimes in spinal tap and autopsy examinations.
By all Bloomberg accounts, the herbicide glyphosate is here to stay, siting comments such as those by Christopher Perrella, a chemicals analyst, saying things like,
“That’s a small fraction of the legacy Monsanto business, so that won’t have a significant impact on the results. But it certainly is having a big impact on the market cap of Bayer.”
A point, pointing very much at the mistake that is ‘big corporate care for the little guy.’
After Dwayne, thousands of more lawsuits have poured in, ranging from accusations of false advertising to causing a range of health issues. Let’s not forget Mr. Dwayne whose suit was rooted in claiming a “cover-up,” by the Monsanto, now Bayer owned, giant.
What really trips me out about this stuff, is the chemical itself, bought in the agricultural application form, undiluted and pure, smells exactly like that dirty water smell all over produce we are all so used to.
Stay tough.
Again folks the simple, total solution is detailed right here.

Enhance Biodiversity and Sustainability in Agriculture, Aquaculture, Fisheries, and Forestry
TARGET 10: Enhance Biodiversity and Sustainability in Agriculture, Aquaculture, Fisheries, and Forestry
The Importance of Educating and Implementing a One-Point Government Against Genetic Modification of Nature
In an age of technological advancement and scientific innovation, the temptation to genetically modify nature has grown significantly. While such modifications promise solutions to global problems, they also present substantial risks to ecosystems, biodiversity, and the fundamental balance of life on Earth. The call for a one-point government policy—an unwavering stance against genetic modification of nature—is not only a plea for ecological preservation but also an invitation for humanity to adopt a culture of empowerment, education, and ecological responsibility.
The Case Against Genetic Modification of Nature
Genetic modification, while often well-intentioned, disrupts the intricate harmony of ecosystems. Genetically modified species can outcompete native species, disrupt food chains, and lead to unforeseen ecological consequences. Once released, these modifications are irreversible, posing long-term risks to biodiversity and natural systems that have evolved over millennia.
A one-point government policy to prohibit the genetic modification of nature would serve as a global safeguard, ensuring that humanity respects and works with natural processes rather than altering them to fit immediate needs or desires. This stance is not about hindering progress but about prioritizing sustainable and harmonious solutions that benefit both people and the planet.
Empowerment Through Education
Education is the cornerstone of this movement. By teaching individuals and communities about the dangers of genetic modification and the benefits of working with natural systems, we can foster a culture of respect and stewardship for the environment. Nutritional Diversity culture—which emphasizes consuming and cultivating a wide variety of natural, organic foods—provides a powerful framework for this education.
This culture promotes alternative agriculture that is resilient, sustainable, and aligned with the natural rhythms of the Earth. By understanding the principles of biodiversity and regenerative practices, individuals can become active participants in creating healthier ecosystems. Educational programs should focus on:
- Understanding Biodiversity: The importance of maintaining genetic diversity in crops and livestock to ensure resilience against diseases and environmental changes.
- Alternative Agriculture Practices: Techniques like permaculture, guerrilla farming, and biodynamic agriculture that enhance soil health, water retention, and crop yields without synthetic inputs.
- Nutritional Diversity for Health: The link between diverse diets and optimal physical and mental performance, encouraging individuals to grow and consume a wide range of nutrient-rich foods.
Household Empowerment as Ecological Empowerment
The shift toward ecological responsibility begins at home. Households can become microcosms of ecological empowerment, contributing to broader environmental health while fostering personal well-being. This grassroots approach diminishes the need for large institutional governance, instead placing the power to create change directly in the hands of individuals and communities. We have two operational sustainable household models [2] that function for multiple guests year-round.
Practical Steps for Household Empowerment:
- Home Gardens: Cultivate small-scale gardens that focus on diverse, organic crops. These gardens not only provide fresh, nutritious food but also reconnect individuals with the cycles of nature.
- Composting: Transform household waste into valuable compost to enrich soil and reduce landfill contributions.
- Water Conservation: Implement rainwater harvesting and efficient irrigation systems to minimize water usage while supporting lush, productive gardens. Water enhancements.
- Community Collaboration: Form local cooperatives to share resources, knowledge, and labor, creating a sense of unity and shared purpose.
The Benefits of Freedom to Work With Nature
By rejecting genetic modification and embracing a culture of empowerment and responsibility, individuals gain the freedom to work with the natural world rather than against it. This approach offers numerous benefits:
- Resilience: Natural systems, when nurtured, are inherently resilient and capable of adapting to environmental changes without human interference.
- Health: Consuming unmodified, nutrient-dense foods supports optimal physical and mental performance.
- Sustainability: Regenerative practices improve soil health, increase biodiversity, and sequester carbon, combating climate change.
- Autonomy: Empowered households and communities reduce dependence on industrial agriculture and centralized systems, fostering greater independence and self-reliance.
Educational and Implementational Teams in South and Central America
Across South and Central America, our dedicated teams are working tirelessly to educate and implement sustainable, nature-aligned practices. These teams are embedded in local communities, providing hands-on training, workshops, and resources to empower individuals to adopt Nutritional Diversity culture and alternative agriculture techniques.
Our online education platform is operational, offering accessible, comprehensive resources on regenerative practices, biodiversity, and ecological stewardship. This platform connects learners with experts and peers, creating a vibrant community of ecological advocates.
In addition, our innovative app facilitates the logging of new project sites and coordinates ecologically enhancing practices. This tool enables real-time collaboration among participants, tracks progress, and ensures alignment with sustainable goals. By integrating technology with grassroots efforts, we’re creating a dynamic ecosystem of support that empowers individuals and communities to take charge of their ecological and nutritional well-being.
A Vision for the Future
A global commitment to preserving the integrity of nature through a one-point government policy against genetic modification represents a profound act of respect for the Earth and future generations. By educating and empowering individuals to adopt Nutritional Diversity culture, alternative agriculture practices, and household-level ecological responsibility, we can create a sustainable, harmonious world where freedom and nature thrive together.
Let us rise to this challenge, cultivating not only our gardens but also our collective potential to live in harmony with the natural world. Together, we can achieve a legacy of ecological integrity and human empowerment.
