Maria Rodale of Rodale Inc. has a new book, Organic Manifesto, out. In it she discusses organic farming vs industrial farming and how organic farming can produce higher yields than industrial while sequestering carbon and potentially slow global warming. The link above has excerpts from her book and as a summary, it really puts the pieces together as far as how hunger, pesticide usage, cancer and other diseases all fit together.
The Rodale Insititute has conducted a study called the Farm System Trial which was started in 1981. It compares organic farming methods to industrial farming methods. I have not read all of the findings yet, however the evidence shows that organic farming methods can compete and possibly beat industrial farming method.
My copy of her book will arrive Friday. I'll let you know what I think, of coarse. In the mean time click on the link above.
What does eat real food mean? Eat foods that were raised or grown in a sustainable manner and are as close to their natural, unprocessed state as possible.
