vue - Industrial Vs Sustainable Agriculture

The biggest players in the food industry—from pesticide pushers to fertilizer makers to food processors and manufacturers—spend billions of dollars every year not selling food, but selling the idea that we need their products to feed the world. But, do we really need industrial agriculture to feed the world? Can sustainably grown food deliver the quantity and quality we need—today and in the future? Our first Food MythBusters film takes on these questions in under seven minutes. So next time you hear them, you can too.

This is what me and my family believe through and through. Down with Big Pharma! Up with organics!

Not the corporations fault, its our fault for high demand of food and overpopulation

Nonsense.

I agree with the general message of this video: People should be wary of corporate interests. Corporations are focused on profit.
However, this message is marred by the rest of the video being overcome with sensationalist rhetoric and arguments to emotion. The writer(s) of this video seem to be pandering more to inner fears with buzzwords like "chemicals" and "addiction" than logic with a more neutral language.
Cow pens aren't cow pens, they're "factories" that farmers are "forced" to squeeze livestock into. Monoculture is an "unnatural" system compared to growing multiple crops (conveniently ignoring the fact that ALL farming is unnatural and drastically changes the environment, and assuming farmers wouldn't think to use farming practices like crop rotation and fallow fielding). The poor defenseless small farmer is bullied by the evil large corporation and now can't support his family.
I don't work in the agriculture field, and I claim no knowledge of what actually happens on farms. I DO know that anyone who builds their argument out of emotional appeals is most likely not telling you the whole story and probably has another agenda beneath the surface, and I am wary of the intentions of people who make such arguments.
I agree that local agriculture is very important. This cause would be much better served by citing sources directly, getting rid of the sensationalist imagery, and speaking plainly about the FULL situation and the qualifications and experience of the people making the argument, because right now I have a real problem trusting anything said in this video. -
Is Sustainable Farming the same as Organic Farming?
-
Strong story and thanks for bringing.. We introduce the YELLOW AGRO against the RED Industrial Farming and GREEN Farming . YELLOW is The Sustainable Agriculture which showed Economy&Ecology based on MJOULE. Join our mission from the Netherlands.

Get the real facts lady

This person has never been on a farm before... 97% of american farms are family owned and they use crop rotation, cover crops, and much moire to preserve their land. Pesticides go through a ton of research to make sure they are safe, which they are. Farmers do not dowse their crops in pesticides a field might need 1-2 maybe 3 in a year, and your food is rarely sprayed before harvest, so the pesticides are not on your food, and farmers do not spray pure concentrated pesticides 95%-98% of the mixture is water. Organic farmers use pesticides and conventional there is nothing wrong with that. Land is getting more fertile with newer farming practices, like no-till, reduce till, or by injecting manure 20in deep helping build top soil. Dairy farms are not crammed, cows can walk around or lay in fresh sand to cool off. They never run out of nice healthy food and can go outside through a run-in whenever they want. I work on a 3500 head dairy farm and my entire family crop farms, it is unfortunate that people are destroying farmers for what they do because they think they know how agriculture works.

The universities all over the world should teach the principles and the research institutes of this world should investigate the underlying mechanisms of Sepp Holzer permaculture/agro-ecology. Sepp Holzer's agricultural system beats conventional/GMO farming in every regard: no factory animal farming, no chemical or genetic pollution, more production per surface unit, huge bio-diversity, extreme landscape beauty, intact and clean water household, no deforestation, no hunger, no epidemic of diseases, each place would have its unique plant varieties, and most important, food would become medicine, as food grown in permaculture is packed with nutrients and antioxydants. If the world adopts Sepp Holzer's farming system, we would live in a world of abundance and beauty. His system, methods and philosophy can be successfully applied anywhere in the world. We could feed 3 times more people than currently live on earth. If Holzer agro-ecology prevails, the earth's biosphere will soon be regenerated. Sepp Holzer has already more than 200 projects in the world, tendancy rising. He knows how to reclaim deserts and turn them into lush, fertile land.

GMO labeling now!!

Pesticide companies, GMO seed companies and health care companies are the all intertwined in one big looping triangle, and we are the victims. Industrial agriculture and their GMO foods are banned in parts of Europe, South America, Asia and all over the world. They won't even allow American companies to sell their foods there, they make them change their ingredients (corn syrup to sugar and etc...). Yet, here in our own land, they are allowed to feed us this poison.

So we buy their toxic foods, that they pump down our throats to get the return back on their mad science research and development ( idiots trying to reinvent the wheel, or in this case the seed, instead of making better agricultural systems such as aquaponics, they give us lazy science) Then after the people are weakened by eating synthetic produce made by factory farms,instead of whole foods, the pharm companies pump meds down our throats to stabilise sickness caused by eating shitty food, yet they cant cure us as they are part of the vicious circle. How convenient a system, creating convenience Frankenstein food. Our lifespans are literally being preserved not sustained.....V
