About farming: if all farmers were to go back to the old methods of farming, using only organic methods, it seems unlikely that the production of food would be adequate to feed out 7 billion people on this planet. I don't like artificial stuff in my food. I also want to eat every day. Fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides have greatly increased production and I am afraid that as a species, we have outgrown the planet's carrying capacity if food is grown without them.
