Here's a pretty straight forward if rather dry assessment of how industrial agriculture is green washing the masses, and a rather understated declaration that organic farming is all we need to feed the hungry.

In my lifetime so far, I've read 30 times a year, at least, about how the Green Revolution will feed the planet. The GR has come and gone and there are a billion people starving. What {{IA} doesn't want you to know is that their technologies are merely greed driven to produce profits. Read their websites - they say so themselves.

What you will never read is how organic farming is all we need to feed the hungry. Let me be clear about this: you and I don't live in these countries where millions of people are starving. We don't see first hand the "hidden" hand of the market keeps these people starving. And we don't see that the US already produces enough food to feed the world. That food goes to the highest bidder and gets turned into non-nutrient dense food. Junk food.

So, if you want, you can buy billions of junk food, feed them to the hungry and it will probably kill them because what they need is nutritious food! Right now industrial agriculture sells only to those who create the junk food that is making you fat and sick.

Here's a few quotes from the article:

Yet more food alone won't help starving people until the global agricultural system radically shifts its focus to address the barriers of poverty (the inability to buy food) and distribution (getting food people want to where they are).

The symposium's highlighting of groups seeking environmental and social benefits may do some good -- if the groups can break industrial ag's profit-driven willingness to sacrifice soil vitality, agricultural biodiversity, human endocrine and neurological health, farmer control of seeds and a nation's nutritional well-being.

Without further research, organic farms in widely varied climates and sizes are already producing highly nutritious food in sustainable ways that are reducing greenhouse gases, increasing resilience in the face of changing climatic conditions, and providing greater economic opportunity.
