There are many people around the world, having success with permaculture. Problem is, you can't make billions from pushing natures way of growing foods, so the western world will continue to push their ways... After all, Westerners, especially Americans, are far more experienced at growing plant life than mother nature... Just ask them, they will say it is true. The best way to grow healthy food is to rob the earth of nutrients and replace them with chemical nutrients.
More of high tech expensive ineffective methods that will benefit only the vested interests. This method calls for the use of more synthetic fertilizer which destroys fertile land and does nothing to improve it. You have not shown one shred of evidence that it will work. What will happen when you withdraw after it has failed? You talk about sustainability, which is maintaining something at a constant rate or level. Do you want to maintain the level of starvation and hunger that exists? Because people who can't afford to buy food certainly won't be able to buy fertilizer or your gadgets. Why not teach them how to restore their land by natural means? Oh! I forgot there is no huge profits for the vested interests.
Smart phones are ubiquitous and the app is free... so where’s the expense? The use of fertilizers doesn’t harm land; over farming (or not rotating crops (a common problem in Africa)) harms land (too much fertilizer harms ecosystems down stream from the farms... but his app is designed to reduce overuse; why would that be bad?) You’re so paranoid of the (non-existent) “vested interests” that you’re dismissing a free resource that might teach you something to improve your crops. Your intentional ignorance is much more dangerous than anything that he’s proposing.
@@geowar20 were using fertilizer because we're using pesticide that is destroying the soil and all the ecosystem. And because the ecosystem is dead, plants are becomming weaker and so we use fertilizer.... Natural selection of the seed can solve the problem.
Great talk!
permaculture is the best way to solve this problem, and small urban farms.
