4 videos on soil conversation and feeding the masses

Grat information on protecting and utilizing our farm fields - minimum till and no till techniques help minimize soil erosion thus protecting our waterways all the way to the oceans. Would be nice if more farmers would use the techniques and not just those farming the hills or those farming in high wind areas. This way government mandates could be loosened on other industries. Being a gardner I liked the idea of looking other remedies (besides pesticides) to control garden pests, which will help to yield more vegetables and fruits. Totally agree with Penn & Teller - what is wrong with using science to produce vegetables and fruits that will increase output - this is nothing new as we learned in previous chapters it was through cross breeding plants and animals that we have such a diversity of both animals and plants today. If we want to sustain our growth we need innovators such as Norman Berlaug to provide the tools to maintain our current consumption needs and at the rate we are growing to sustain an even larger population. I don't think organic farms will ever go away so those wanting "organic" can continue to have it keeping in mind the plants they are growing and eating are only available due to earlier versions of what we call genetic engineering today.
