Mono-cropping is an environmental disaster…
Consider a natural meadow with plants supported by pollination
by insects, wild animals, rain water filtered by soil
Modern farming of crops--diversity of life has been destroyed
Soil: every time plowed, it is depleted
-trillions of organisms are exposed to
sunlight, rain washes them away
-pesticides alter microbial communities
-Result: dirt which can grow nothing
"Biggest environmental catastrophe of
our time. We are IGNORING”

One third of world's productive top soil already GONE…
-UN study: by 2050, 90% of top soil will be depleted
-Because 95% of human calorie intake depends on soil,
this is an impending disaster like we have never seen
Reason? Mono-crop farming:
-intensive plowing
-intensive pesticide & fertilizer use
"Fruits & veggies have had serious
declines in their nutrition content
over past few decades”
Graph: decline in key ingredients from
1950 and 1999

Ruminant grazing RESTORES TOPSOIL…
-perennial grasses bind soil together by their deep roots
-preventing erosion
-when decompose, they replenish nutrients & remove carbon
Currently, soil hold 3x more carbon than in the atmosphere
-cow manure also contributes to
soil biomass
OUR CHOICE:
1-continue mono-cropping & famine
2-ruminant farming to restore soil
