Comment on Organic Food Production Can Feed the World by Stephen

Thanks for your comments Hobby, but I think that you are missing the point of the article.

It is not about the health benefits of eating organic food, nor the dangers of industrial, processed foods. The article is about the fact that industrial, corporate agriculture has said for some time now that the local, organic agricultural model cannot feed the world, without providing any proof of it’s argument. At the same time, there have been at least 98 peer-reviewed papers between 1999 and 2007 showing that local organic agriculture can, in fact, feed the world. That is the thrust of the article.

I do, however, completely agree with your statements. That is one of the reasons we provide not only seeds but soil building and gardening education along with recipes on how to prepare the fresh, healthy food that comes from your garden.

To me the most compelling reason to go organic is for the obvious health benefits of eating the food that is grown organically. Also missing is the information about the devastating effects of the world eating all of the processed foods. How about heart disease, diabetes, and many others. The agribusiness industry and the processed foods that come from it are killing the general population.

Hope it helps, as there are a lot of folks that don’t quite understand the terms that are thrown around (rightly or wrongly) these days.

Good article to get us all planning, but I have one addition. Great idea to have the kids prepare their garden contribution in a meal. How about take it full circle and teach them to save the seeds from the veggie they planted, too!
