Five ways small-scale organic farming can save agriculture from
America's 'greed for profit' system Jonathan Benson, staff
writer (NaturalNews) All around the world, the push to globalize
the food supply by consolidating food production into large-
scale, corporatized agricultural systems controlled by a select
few is causing massive environmental destruction and immense
poverty. And the only way to truly turn things around is to
return to small-scale, independent, organic farming models in
which people, not corporations, control the food supply, and
grow quality food for their families and communities without
government interference. It may sound overly simplistic or even
unrealistic in modern world terms, but small-scale farming
methods that include growing a variety of crops on smaller
plots, also known as biodiversity; rotating crops to maintain
soil quality; and avoiding the overuse of harmful chemicals are
still among the best ways to conserve land and ensure an
abundant, nutrient-dense food supply. Apar
