23.01.2022 Actions of love serve a higher purpose.

23.01.2022 I recently answered a question involving "things you would tell your inexperienced permaculture self". Here's what came through: What does your Land want? I feel as deisgners, we are the bridge between earth and humans; understanding that there is no seperation between us and finding an outcome of combinations that mutually benefit our symbiosis.... What you help grow will become medicine, what you give back turns into surplus and everything else can be shared. When you integrate the underlying philosophy, even the way you walk can become "sustainable".

22.01.2022 "No matter the state of the world, or how dark the shadow that has fallen on our city, I find it curiously comforting to know that if you plant a seed and give it sunlight and water, it will grow." - Sarah Jio #permaculture #discoverpermaculture #sarahjio #quote #quotes

05.01.2022 We don’t need GMO foods. It is a myth the biotech industry and people who cannot think for themselves are trying to perpetuate. We need better distribution of f...ood and less wastage and we can easily feed all the people of the world. The fact that the will to do this is lacking in our political structure tells us that the politicians are either ignorant, incompetent or compliant to outside interests. Those ‘interests’ are interested in profit and control over both the food and health sovereignity of the people and are hidden behind the lobbyists of powerful consortiums of powerful corporations. This excerpt from a feed I was just reading on the GMO front and our fight for a poison free planet of poison free food, water and air: Zombie GMO myths by Dr. Jonathan Foley 17 Apr 2018 https://globalecoguy.org, https://globalecoguy.org/zombie-gmo-myths-a59123a403f2 EDITED * Some widespread notions about GMOs especially that they are needed to feed a growing world are wrong and simply refuse to die. It never fails. Every few months, someone usually a reporter asking me to talk about GMOs*. And they almost always ask the same few questions. Sadly, these questions are the usual GMO Zombie Myths put into circulation by big agricultural interests and their allies that just won’t die. Industrial agriculture and biotech interests have built entire campaigns saying that we need genetically engineered organisms to feed the world." Yet most of the GMOs in use today aren’t even primary food crops that feed the world like rice, wheat, roots and tubers, pulses, and fruits and vegetables. Instead, most of the world’s GMO farm fields are growing things like feed corn (not sweet corn that we eat, but feed corn that is used for making animal feed, high-fructose corn syrup, and corn ethanol), soybeans (mainly for animal feed), cotton, and canola. Very few of the GMO crops in use today are feeding the world’s poor; instead, they are crops used in the world’s wealthier countries, mainly to fatten animals, make unnecessary biofuels and food additives, or make cheap clothing. There is the common claim that GMOs dramatically increase crop yields. That’s not really true either. If you really wanted to feed the world, you’d tackle bigger issues namely food waste, wasteful diets (especially in the U.S. and Europe, where more red meat is eaten) and feedlot animal agriculture (where we turn food crops in animal feed). Moreover, there are side effects to using these bundled GMO-pesticide systems at such large scales. The loss of native plants on the edges of farmers fields, and the subsequent impact on native insects, birds, and other wildlife. Plus, there are the potential effects of using any biocide too much in the environment, and the potential impacts on soil microorganisms and biodiversity which are still poorly understood. It’s like a giant treadmill, where we are in a race between GMO+pesticide development and nature’s ability to adapt to our chemicals, with new, resistant weeds and bugs. And nature typically wins. We need whole-food-system solutions, from the farmers field to our plates and stomachs. That’s the way we can feed 9 billion, with true food security and nutrition, with far less environmental and social harm. But, first, we need to dispel the myth that GMOs are needed to feed the world. Because that’s just not true, and is never going to be. * Please don’t say, Hey, all crops are genetically modified. Yes, yes, we have been selectively breeding plants for thousands of years. We all know that. But the term GMOs refers to the recent development of gene splicing and the development of transgenic crops, creating forms of life that nature, or selective breeding, could never have created
