    French farmers propaganda video.
    Now interview the hundreds of thousands of people that invest in the land with sustainable agriculture in Cerrado region.

    Hahaha a French man talking in Brazil? Attacking Brazil farmers?
    French Agri propaganda is investing a lot on combating Brazil products. 😂

    "as feed for livestock" lol completely neglecting the fact that 95% of soy is crushed to extract the oil to produce soybean oil which is consumed by humans

    France 24, please make a documentary about Syntropic Farming, Agroforestry, and Permaculture. These three methods preserve the forests and create more abundant agriculture without destroying the environment and the soil. And without spending a lot of energy as vertical farms do. It may solve the problems of Agriculture (food production) and Climate Change (planting more trees and forests) at the same time. In a nutshell, the Swiss geneticist Ernst Götsch (the creator of Syntropic Farming), in the '80s, tested his method first on a very degraded area in the northeast of Brazil (in the state of Bahia). In the beginning, he recovered the degraded areas then he started to plant many trees and do agriculture at the same time. The area that was almost totally degraded has become totally green (a big forest) again.
    For some decades now he is planting high-value and quality cocoa - that has been exported to Europe - he can plant and harvest and at the same time preserve the forest. The trees serve as protection and even fertilizer for the plantation. Syntropic Farming is close to Agroforestry but they are not the same, as well as permaculture. Right now, Ernst is trying to create machines to test his techniques in large plantations. As conventional machines were not created to be suited to maintain and preserve forests and work next to many trees. He already started a project with the "Fazenda da Toca" (Burrow's farm or Den's Farm in simple translation) to test Syntropic Agriculture in big lands. But, probably the European more advanced engineering and machinery innovation could help to accelerate this process a lot. Some machines are being made in small industries in the south of Brazil, but Europe has more technology and expertise to do that faster.
    Note: Ernst also tried his methods in almost all types of soils. Even in the Brazilian semi-arid (Caatinga) it worked marvelously. In European soils too (Portugal, Spain). In Australian soil too. I choose Syntropic Agrofloresty because it is easier to apply in big plantations. In big lands.

      @@robinjames7967 read the propaganda apparently. We are actual sustainability farmers with livestock and work with ranchers. Cows are fed 90% D Grade soy. A-B Grade soy becomes plant based foods (tofu, tofurkey, beyond burgers, etc) that those vegans eat, C-grade soy becomes soy milk and soy base for meal bars and food filler. Soy is a commodity that is graded like all commodity products...as those of us in the business of growing/ foraging know...

There´s billions of poor people that need food, and that need to be done in industrial scale. Go on to your overpriced market with marvelous products while billions of people would be glad with a bowl of rice.
