We’re treating soil like dirt. It’s a fatal mistake, as our lives depend on it

31. The soil is a living thing that we have killed with ignorance and greed. Studying the

powers of those microscopic engines that keep the ecosystem viable have been forgotten.

It's well known that healthy soil produces healthy food, and the mechanicistic thinking that leads to treating it as nothing more than a car engine to add short term profit making produce is hort sighted.

Frankly, I find it stupid and despite the 'science' of the sellers of killing chemistry, not really scientific. It ignores the bigger picture and the longer term planning needed.

My knowledge, not faith in a deity at work in the soil, but the actual living things, is why I never used chemical fertilizers, pesticides or weed killers in my garden or pasture or fields.

It's not that hard to learn this, even though I learned most of it at college and the rest on my own, but industries sell such are killing topsoil as if there was no tomorrow.

The sellers will get rich on it, but we are all poorer. It's like MIC propaganda that seeks to crush opposing voices.

And they have done that which is leading to stunted, unhealthy tomorrows. Sorry, but there it is.
