@perennialfarmer@Zach_Graumann @SylvanaquaFarms Absolutely!!! The conversation I had with @AndrewYang concerning ag makes me think he would have a lot of interest in what @SylvanaquaFarms has to say and is doing!
Love or fear? It’s a relevant & consequential decision we all continuously make.
Too often, we’ve seen the fatal consequences of a PD that chooses to fear the people they have sworn to protect.
This is what love looks like.
@GuyHenry_7 Sorry, the weariness may be getting to me, I really don’t mean to be harsh. Hope you can understand that I’ve been working long hard hours to prove the productivity, economic viability and sustainability of the farming practices I believe in. I insist it is not woowoo shit.
@GuyHenry_7 @HumanityForward@ZachandMattShow I’ve already probably gone into more detail than you may have been looking for but I think you should read into the importance of soil biology to plant health..and planet health.
@GuyHenry_7 @HumanityForward@ZachandMattShow Not to over-generalize, but many conventional agricultural settings are nearly sterile of life. Their soils are simply a media to hold the truckloads of chemical inputs they MUST apply in order to produce anything worth turning the harvester on.
@GuyHenry_7 @HumanityForward@ZachandMattShow I concede that not all organic farming operations use the best practices but there is one theme that is consistent amongst them all; we feed the soil in hopes of unlocking the full potential of the biology that has evolved to form symbiotic relationships with the plants we grow.
@GuyHenry_7 @HumanityForward@ZachandMattShow It’s also important to consider how much conventional agriculture degrades the land it uses. This means more inputs to achieve the same or diminishing yields.
