Agroecology: The Less Disturbance of the Soil the Better
This documentary about Bees does a great job of going into depth about how the use of pesticides, which is killing our bees, is a symptom of a greater problem, and that greater problem is the way we till, till, till until we change the biological community of the soil--pests are overcome when you establish biological balances, as Dr. Lundgren explains, which would eliminate our need to use neonicitinoids, very toxic to bees. 13% of all our land surfaces are compromised by the use of these agents.
This kind of farming is regenerative, where they are rebuilding biodiversity in the soil. First step is: Stop tilling. This is discussed starting around the 3 min mark: http://www.sci.sdsu.edu/SERG/techniq...sturbance.html

As they say, they don't have to commute and can never be fired. When people are throwing away land and skills that can sustain them forever to 'go to college' for a 'respectable' job they hate and pay for the privilege to live in a sewer (city) it shows they don't know who they are anymore. That's not to say that agriculture is for everybody and school benefits no one, but the denigration of 'real' skills started way back there. Denigrating farming, denigrating motherhood, denigrating racial cohesion for Whites as 'backward' when it's the opposite. In 'The Good Earth' when the dutiful Chinese wife stopped her husband from selling the land, I remember that scene, when they were starving and he was going to sell some of it. 'NO. Not the land.' Anything but losing the land. People are starting to come back to that way of thinking again.

So true, Emily. The pleasure of gardening provides food for the soul as well as for the table.
