We rely on our modern agriculture system to feed the planet. While most people in the modern world seem to believe food comes from a store it most certainly does not. The bright lights and shiny packaging at the grocery is simply the last step in a long chain of systems.
The reality is be it animal or vegetable it all starts in the farm fields of the world and those fields are sick and dying for a variety of reasons. Of course man’s solution is genetic engineering, new chemicals and attempting to adapt to the damage we are doing vs. reversing it.
