The Food Race - Pesticides, GMOs and Organic Farming on the Test

Ойын-сауық

The world’s supply of food becomes more and more imbalanced. One billion people are starving and every second a child dies of hunger and its consequences. At the same time, the world’s food production is at its peak level, and the demand for meat is growing not only in the industrial world.
How can it be that up to 30% of the world’s harvest is ruined by plant diseases and pests, and less than half our harvest ends up on our plate? This film reveals the causes and impacts of this imbalance and tries to find solutions how we can get prepared to feed up to nine billion people in the next 35 years.

    Stop listening to the government and big corporations, go back to the old ways. Greed has and will be the end of humankind. If everyone would start a garden on their property, food shortage would be substantially stopped.

    When you continually use chemicals to kill pests and fungi, those pests become more resilient. Similar to antibiotics. GMO crops are still susceptible to disease, but seed output is greatly reduced. Food waste is also a huge problem, we have enough food to feed the planet. If only feeding the poor were a money maker; then everyone would be doing it!

    Animals are consuming 70-80% of all the proteins grown on earth using pesticides for the profits of a few. Why do we keep doing the same thing over and over and getting the same results? ="Insanity" If you think COVID was bad it will be minor in comparison to the antimicrobial disease coming. Meat is a carcinogen and caused every pandemic for hundreds of years! How many clues do we need?

    Animal Agriculture and dairy is subsidized thousands of times more than fresh organic fruits and vegetables. If the scandalous politicians and governments would flip this highly processed industry (meat and diary) on it's head and stop feeding the problem that so many continue to support it would be a great start! Our food choices from meat, dairy, and processed crap is the largest problem!

    @@arnaldobellucci9033 yes rice grows in flooded fields.. But this is talking about when the water goes higher than the whole rice plant and completely submerges it for many days. A lot of rice crops have been lost this way. This is what this university GMO rice has been developed for. I still don't fully trust GMO crops because they inevitably need pesticides to accompany them. The best way to ensure healthy crops is build the soil substructure for health resilience.

    Where I live in the Philippines most farmers use roundup to kill the grass, every 3 months. I advise them they are destroying their soil biology, contaminating their waterways and destroying their health, but most like the easy way. I cut the grass every 3 months, which provides nutrients to the soil. More work, but much better results in the longer term. Man is his own worst enemy.

While many of those techniques are decent, they are only as good as your understanding of them and very few have that understanding… 99.99% of people that claim they are doing Hugelkultur are just doing chop and drop and calling it Hugelkulture… If the mound isn’t 2 to 3 meters tall, it’s not Hugelkulture… It’s a method of composting large logs, and just like all composting, size is critical for success. Permaculture food forests are not forests, they are frigging orchards with companion plantings… Calling them a forest is a joke… Permaculture sucks… Organic farming/homesteading is really good, but permaculture is just a friggin con/grift.

    Genomics is still crap science at this time… And the first GMO crop was planted in 1995, it has only been around for 29 years. The current tech is a crap shoot… CRISPR can insert the desired gene, but it is sloppy as hell and also inserts more than 100 other genes at the same time. There is no telling what consequences could arise without long term study… While I am all for continuing the study and research, there should be zero open air growing of GMO plants, and it should all be confined to labs and controlled greenhouses. Genomics might have something to offer in the distant future, but it has a long way to go before it can be considered safe or reliable.
