From Prairie to Monocultures

While filming in the prairies of Minnesota recently, Geoff Lawton was struck by the contrasting field of industrial corn. In 3 minutes he gave you an interesting account of the contrast and despair of industrial agriculture.

His final statement is quite succinct.
--------------------------------
"This is a way of converting fossil fuel to money, through food. That's all."

Here's another thing that could be said to be typical of monoculture.
--------------------------------
This system trades soil and soil fertility for food, in order to make money. It's a mining operation that consumes fossil fuels and money to make poisoned food and more money than was put in.
