The future of food production is vertical: And it may destroy Monsanto?? According to an interesting article in Motley Fool, vertical farming is springing up from Singapore to Pennsylvania and with amazing results.
The future of farming is high in the sky and imaginative. And sorry Monsanto, but pesticides will not be needed.. Maybe we can have our bees back. Clean food coming? Hopefully not just for the rich and famous..
For anyone who wants to try.
I am going to this year.. I am craving to grow my own stuff.
I don’t want to slaughter my own meat yet. Maybe in 2015.
Incremental steps to self-sufficiency. I’m not going all “Jesse Ventura” and just going nuts.
IS THIS PRODUCT CAUSING INCREASED CASES OF AUTISM, PARKINSON’S, AND ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE?
A new study is linking Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer with major effects on the human body..
Monsanto is calling the study bogus and bad science. But hell, what else but that could they say??
Here is the science of it, as reported by NATIONOFCHANGE.ORG:
Glyphosate impairs the cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene pathway, which creates enzymes that help to form and also break down molecules in cells. There are myriad important CYP enzymes, including aromatase (the enzyme that converts androgen into estrogen) and 21-Hydroxylase, which creates cortisol (stress hormone) and aldosterone (regulates blood pressure). One function of these CYP enzymes is also to detoxify xenobiotics, which are foreign chemicals like drugs, carcinogens or pesticides. Glyphosate inhibits these CYP enzymes, which has rippling effects throughout our body.
Interestingly, though, Monsanto isn’t the sole company that has the rights to use glyphosate .. They did create it, but their patent on it expired in 2010. To maybe it’s unfair to blame them solely if glyphosate truly does have these effects on human beings—at least post 2010.
However, Roundup is a big seller worldwide..
It’s fast action.
It kills weeds and roots.
And it has a beautiful color that looks very friendly to nature.
This story suggests the ingredient glyphosate is quite the opposite of healthy and wholesome..
Hungry for GMO food? While you’re probably not but eat it unknowingly everyday anyway, consider this: Monsanto doesn’t allow genetically modified foods in its corporate cafeterias.. Greenpeace has the full exposé..
Monsanto believes in choice.. As long as the choice is fresh and GMO free. They clearly know that they are what they eat ..
Farmers found to ‘be in violation’ of Monstano rules.. According to the company there was a threefold increase last year in U.S. farmers caught violating requirements for planting genetically modified corn…
While these farmers had the nerve to violate the rules of the GMO game other farmers are tired of the corporate giant.. Farmers filed a a class-action suit against the multinational seed and chemical corporation Monsanto, stating they are no longer able to keep transgenic contamination out of their fields...
Watching both stories closely.. And CLOSELY watching what I eat…
Are you a European farmer breaking rules or claiming subsidies that you should not get? Goodbye to all that as drones are now set to spy on your farm and keep order..
Tranquil walks are watched.. Cucumbers growing under the eye of a camera..
And if farm cams get your knickers in a knit realize this: It has only just begun..
The UK TELEGRAPH reporting on some interesting, and really not good news, that farmers are worried about the Ogallala Aquifer, which is now running dry..
(Some of the comments on the article are just as interesting as the article itself)
