I’m Thai, and I’m glad to see people like you sharing informations like these. Our modern mentality in terms of food production has been about quantity. They don’t care about the quality, they just say that they care when in reality that’s not even the case. Honestly if I ever go broke one day I’ll just run right into the jungles of our home even if I die within a week. I would argue that it’s better than crumbling & rotting away in the streets. Thank for the knowledge kap!
I totally agree. Modern farming techniques destroys the soil. I started growing my own food without chemicals last year. I used a no dig method with well aged horse manure and plants to fix nitrogen and attract bees. The food tastes great and I feel wonderful.
@_Wai_Wai_ The no dig method that I used was to lay cardboard on grass and cover it with 150mm of well rotted horse manure. The cardboard keep light from the grass and kills it. You plant seeds in the compost. No digging is necessary.
No dig or no till means you don't disturb or turn over the soil. So no plowing or turning the soil with a spade. This will protect and improve the soil life and improve the fertility of your soil. Check out No Till growers on youtube
This is why I’ve been looking into what people call “food forests” where a whole ecosystem is grown, so that all of the bugs, animals and other things not conducive to monoculture agriculture will be reused in other things that we can eat. For example; the worm that eat part of my tomatoes will then be eaten by my turkeys, so regardless I am not losing anything. Even some of the mold on things such as corn can be eaten, usually called huitlacoche.
Over 150 - 200 years ago, the Chinese Empire had over 300 - 400 million people. At that time, I doubt they used artificial fertilizers or chemicals in farming, and yet, they supported a population more than the USA today. I believe today, the problem is not lack of food, but food is not evenly distributed. In USA, and much of developed Europe, they waste so much food. Supermarkets reject produce that are odd shaped, or do not have perfect appearance. Much of that produce are left to rot in the fields.
If a community accomplishes what you are saying it will have the opportunity to become rich. It will become attractive to tourists who want to experience the diversity and culture.
At the end of the day, the big chemical fertilizer and agrochemical company made the money .... leave behind are those unhealthy food for the people ..... what a sad thing
I agree that farmlands are degraded and wildlife is often under the threat. Yet having fewer people is quite debatable. I think it depends on which country you're in. In East Asia, the birth rate is actually extremely low while the population growth is slowing down almost everywhere. Also, from my study and organic farming experience, our diets and habits of consumption made 'feeding the world's population' become a challenge. The land can feed our empty stomach but not our greediness.
@@TheDiversifiedFarmer yeah 😂! Nice argument, we are the para$ite on earth... come visit Dhaka, Delhi, Mumbai...try to live in these places as an average person lives. We are the viru$ and threat to our very own existence
We definitely don't need anymore humans. 8 billion of us already oh common! Have some $hame...the less of us the better....the amount a modern human being consumes is beyond unsustainable. And economic success only benefits the 0ligarchs not the public. @@trantrung6956

what do you mean no dig method?

You are not discussing the main issue which is overpopulation and destruction of wilderness and farmlands. People should have less kids.
I agree that farmlands are degraded and wildlife is often under the threat. Yet having fewer people is quite debatable. I think it depends on which country you're in. In East Asia, the birth rate is actually extremely low while the population growth is slowing down almost everywhere.

People are nature, biological machines.
It is the model of civilization that is the problem, not number of people.
