A more interesting and enlightening article on the state of 21st Century Agriculture is plugged after this article.

Michael Pollan is a wonderful writer. This article shouldn't surprise anyone who spends time thinking about the food they put into their body and where it that food is sourced.

Oh yes. It's possible to make highly productive, completely organic, local agriculture. Added bonus, in times of high unemployment, it's relatively job-intensive.

The mega-corporation-owned, gigantic scale, chemical-laden industrial agriculture presented here is a nightmare...
