Re: Mind's Eye Globalization, a threat to mankind

I don't think that will work,, I think your solution would result in
wide spread famine world wide though the chemical farmers are not the
best solution they are not the worst either from supermarkets to
farmers markets would again result in wide spread hunger and famine..
corporations have the ability to preserve food and spread it trough
out the world where it is needed.. one of the problems is
distribution .. and production.. at one time I owned approximately
200 hectors of land could grow wheat on some of it and grass that was
about it.. the other was so let me put it my best crops were rocks..
Dad and I built a house out of them..

Using today's technology if we created a vertical green house (my dad
and I discussed it some 40 - 45 years ago) of creating a vertical
green house.. My father's knowledge was the most advance in
hydroponics there still was a lot lacking and he continued to do
research..

But Andrew instead of using all of our land to maybe poorly feed 50..
with today's technology using a vertical green house we could easily
feed 50,000 people in and ecologically friendly manner ,, that would
include providing protein other than vegetables.

Stepping backwards is not a solution.
