As the title states, we have been experiencing the journey of physically walking thru fields, orchards, greenhouses, and backyard gardens. Talking to numerous professionals and common folks about some of the issues and challenges that are arising within our food production systems and understanding that these issues and challenges just didn’t happen overnight and the solutions available will not correct the problems overnight either. What was really disturbing to us after we talked to a soil scientist and a microbiologist, that a majority of these food production challenges could have been easily corrected and solutions were available 50 years ago. Why was this information stuffed away? Simply answer – Greed!! Case in point, soil biology, if your soil fungi and bacteria are not balanced correctly, it doesn’t matter how much synthetic products is applied, these will not correct soil biology imbalance and it just fuels the problems. When crop outputs decline, the go to solution all time is just add more synthetic products. End results – Food that has very little nutrient value at all, health issues appear, take more drugs to solve the issues, and spend more money because you feel like crap! BUT some companies are happy because they are making money!
