Lots of good information here that makes sense. Basically the problem is that organic farming of crops potentially produces maybe half the yield of today's heavy chemical production. Is there enough world acreage today to feed 7.5 billion people?

I got into ag as a "Feed the world" person, back in 1982 in college learning from "Green Revolution" profs. I learned all I could academically and then have been in food production (dairy) ever since. There's more than enough food in the world - it's a distribution problem. Also, it's not just "Feed the world" but *HOW* to feed the world, without all the chemical crutches that are relied upon.

The 40 year study at the Rodale Institute comparing side by side organic vs conventional crops has shown organic not only out produces conventional in the long term, but soil health is much better.

We need to care for the top 6" of earth that supports our livestock and land so that it will keep supporting us.

I believe John Klar's practical based advocacy can help lead us there.

I would love to work as an activist for the MAHA movement. A coalition to ease the burden on coverage with Christian Healthshares and their partnership with medical establishments is in dire need. I’ve learned first hand, after having to leave a teaching career, and my benefits, only to be refused affordable coverage due to preexisting conditions. Conditions that are a result of western medicine! #voice4change

Farms in the Hudson Valley have transitioned to organic farming I’m told to sell to high-end restaurants in NYC awa locally.

"For our health and our security, this way of life must return,” Klar said." Reclaiming ourselves as natural humans who eat real food and live with sovereignty in our local communities is very needed as technocracy approaches.
