Saving Our Seeds: Protecting the Future of Our Food
Since the start of human agricultural practices, seeds have been traditionally saved and shared between farmers – used and passed down from one season to the next.
HOPE: Transitions to Regenerative Agriculture: Dawn & Grant's Story
One of the first things Grant and Dawn did was change the monoculture cash crop, or cover crop into a highly complex, diverse cover crop of which immediately became a game changer for them.
Unfortunate Developments in Chemical Food
At this point in history, the agricultural world is no stranger to genetic modification. With this technology, researchers have created seedless watermelon, gluten-free wheat and apples that don’t turn brown with age. This is done through breeding out unwanted traits of an organism (i.e seeds or spots).
Starving… For Healthy Soil
Soil is the most basic foundation of our food security. Recent scientific assessments have found that one third of the globe’s land is significantly degraded due to numerous factors such as erosion, salinization, compaction, acidification and not least of all, chemical pollution.
Regenerative Agriculture: A New Movement on the Rise
Our planet is in crisis, and glyphosate is one of the primary culprits. It is contributing to an epidemic chronic disease in humans, wiping out essential biodiversity across the globe, and depleting the soil in which our food is grown. Approximately 13 billion pounds of this chemical are used every year around the world – disrupting biological life at a staggering rate.
