After destroying the soil’s fertility and its ability to produce nutrient-dense food, the biotech industry wants to perpetuate the cycle of destruction by producing GMO bananas and Golden Rice, in order to provide vitamins and nutrients that we used to get from our food.
It’s a vicious cycle of insanity.
In her Earth Day message, Vandana Shiva encourages us to make peace with the Earth. And continue our work to end the war on Earth that has been perpetuated by industrial agriculture, that with its toxic chemicals and pesticide-reliant GMO crops, accounts for the largest share of destruction of biodiversity, soil, water and climate stability, Shiva says.
The Earth is inviting us to a resurgence. We will either listen to her, or be pushed to extinction. And I know there are enough of us out there that we will not go blindly into the path of extinction. We have a future. Let’s make it together.
