Absolutely true. We can definitely be treating the land better.

The only reason we need industrial fertilisers, is because its packaged so well and easy to distribute. But if we weren't raping the soil in the first place, we wouldn't have this problem.

Industrialized farming needs to be revolutionised by the same technique that computing went through: a DIY revolution.

If you don't have a garden, now is the time to start. Everyone should have a garden.

A garden and a few chickens. Getting 4-6 eggs per day is simply fantastic, and the hens are great at eating up harmful insects and weeds that would otherwise harm the output of the garden. They also fertilize the land in a very natural way.
