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
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 really love your vision. You are very wise and philosophical addressing the core issues of our whole system. My mom and I became farmers now. We gave up the city life and now growing food because it is the future. I know that action and leading by example speaks the loudest!
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.
He is Amongst the remaining true teachers or truth speakers out here. But we have too many desires which are killing us. May the true way not be lost because with teachers like him, we have hope.
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
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.

what do you mean no dig method?

Wise and true words my friend.
