Thoughts from a gardener.

Imagine thousands of different varieties of veges and fruit, many types of the same each having a different shape and colour, with differing ph soil levels, zones required to grow. Unfortunately many varieties have been lost and destroyed, of the rare types of fruit and veges either have been patented or held by a few. A group known as seed savers exchange are dedicated to keeping heirloom seeds and some live stock around to share with others and for future generations, they have over 25,000 different types of veges and fruit. It is unbelievable how many different types of apples you can get which many will never even know about and all the people that could be fed by the huge amount of food we have been given, yet much of what could feed millions is kept by a few. In a world driven by profit, greed, selfishness, has the ability to maintain what GOD has given us gone.
"Modern civilization relies on factory style agriculture and horticulture that is motivated by profitability and economic rationalism. Unfortunately this drives farmers to try and squeeze the maximum productivity out of their land in a way that is unsustainable. Govts and society can no longer afford, however to ignore the massive problems of soil erosion, sulinity, weed invasion and chemical pollution that have become the inevitable consequences of unsustainable farming practices. This zero tolerance of pests, diseases and imperfections makes it almost impossible for farmers to work in sustainable ways."
And to make it worse "Genetically modified plants present a different set of problems. genetic engineers are combining genetic material from organisms in ways that have never been possible in nature. Going on previous scientific experience we know that changing one part of an ecosystem will always result in some kind of knock on effect, resulting in other directions that lead to enviromental problems".
Everything depends on something, there is a hierarchal order where the bigger functions depend on the little structures. Man's solution to anything that gets in his way is to eliminate it. David Cavagnaro, master gardener, believes "that human beings need to understand and respect the principles of nature that govern natural ecosystems, and that we should model our co-creative gardening process after those principles. "We should never use any poisons or interventions that are designed to annihalate anything, but rather keep things in some kind of balance."
