href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2024\/07\/20\/waging-war-on-modern-agriculture-and-global-nutrition\/\">Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Demands for organic or subsistence farming worldwide would devastate nature and nutrition<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paul Driessen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The World Economic Forum says the world faces a new crisis, \u201cOne-third of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions come from food production.\u201d With the world\u2019s population expected to reach 10 billion people by 2050, it is therefore \u201curgent\u201d that we launch a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2024\/06\/renovation-reinvention-food\/\">\u201cradical\u201d and \u201ccomprehensive\u201d transformation<\/a>&nbsp;of the global food system \u2013 from \u201creinventing\u201d farming to \u201creimagining\u201d how food is produced, processed, distributed, consumed and disposed of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reinforcing this message, Stop Ecocide Now founder Jojo Mehta expanded on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2020\/01\/greta-speech-our-house-is-still-on-fire-davos-2020\/\">Greta Thunberg\u2019s<\/a>&nbsp;incendiary 2020 rant that \u201cour house is on fire and you\u2019re fueling the flames.\u201d Farming is a \u201cserious crime,\u201d equal to \u201cgenocide,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/slaynews.com\/news\/wef-member-calls-farming-serious-crime-equal-genocide\/\">Ms. Mehta told elites<\/a>&nbsp;at the 2024 WEF meeting in Davos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their grasp of agriculture is epitomized by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/world\/americas\/us-election\/michael-bloomberg-2020-election-farmers-video-swing-states-a9341401.html\">Michael Bloomberg\u2019s suggestion<\/a>&nbsp;that anybody can be a farmer: \u201cYou dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, you add water, up comes the corn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Modern farming and its supposedly dangerous greenhouse gas emissions are a tad more complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Modern mechanized farming employs oil derivatives as fuel for equipment and feed stocks for herbicides and pesticides, natural gas to dry grain and make fertilizers, and livestock to provide protein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tractors, trucks, farmers and livestock emit carbon dioxide, adding to the 0.04% of CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;in Earth\u2019s atmosphere (equivalent to $40 of $100,000). Cattle emissions add methane to the existing 0.0002% CH<sub>4<\/sub>&nbsp;in the atmosphere (20\u00a2 of $100,000). Nitrogen fertilizers add to the \u201cdramatic\u201d 200-year rise in atmospheric nitrous oxide (N<sub>2<\/sub>O), bringing it to a still minuscule 0.00003% (that\u2019s 3\u00a2 of $100,000).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These emissions allegedly drive \u201ccataclysmic\u201d climate change and extreme weather, endangering all life on Earth. But then what caused five Ice Ages (including the Pleistocene Era and its mile-high glaciers, which ended 12,000 years ago), the Roman and Medieval Warm Periods, and the Little Ice Age (1350-1850) to come and go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course,&nbsp;<em>natural<\/em>&nbsp;forces can\u2019t drive climate hysteria and WEF-Gore-Biden anti-fossil-fuel agendas. Fear-mongering political, activist, media and academic elites therefore ignore them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Real World, the wondrous reality is that, after centuries of&nbsp;<em>excruciatingly<\/em>&nbsp;slow progress, agricultural advances over the past 75 years have been nothing short of astonishing. Dr. Norman Borlaug\u2019s Green Revolution employed plant breeding techniques that multiplied yields of vital grain crops, saving hundreds of millions of lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 1950, American farmers increased&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.agweb.com\/news\/crops\/corn\/corn-yield-record-shattered-farmers-45951-dryland-bushels\">per-acre corn yields<\/a>&nbsp;by an incredible 500% and other crop yields by smaller but still amazing amounts \u2013 while using used less land, water and fuel \u2026 and fewer fertilizers and pesticides per ton of produce. Their exports helped slash global hunger and malnutrition even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, despite supposed impacts from manmade climate change, farmers in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.agfax.com\/2022\/08\/30\/brazil-new-record-grain-production-on-horizon\/\">Brazil<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/764321\/india-yield-of-food-grains\/\">India<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/op-eds\/record-agricultural-yields-should-allay-climate-fears\">many other countries<\/a>&nbsp;have also enjoyed record harvests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Multiple miracle technologies contributed.&nbsp;<em>Hybrid seeds<\/em>&nbsp;combine valuable traits from different related plants.&nbsp;<em>Biotechseeds<\/em>&nbsp;protect crops against voracious insects and destructive viruses, while reducing water and pesticide demand. Virus-resistant biotech cultivars have even replaced endangered papayas in Hawaii, cassava and bananas in Africa, and other crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Nitrogen (ammonia) fertilizers<\/em>, synthesized&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/edmonton\/alberta-natural-gas-fertilizer-ammonia-1.5290836\">from natural gas<\/a>&nbsp;and atmospheric nitrogen, have joined phosphorus and potassium in supercharging soils. Increased&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.noaa.gov\/news\/study-global-plant-growth-surging-alongside-carbon-dioxide\"><em>atmospheric carbon dioxide<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/co2coalition.org\/facts\/more-co2-helps-to-feed-more-people-worldwide-2\/\">spurs plant growth<\/a>&nbsp;and reduces water demand even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long-lasting&nbsp;<em>herbicides<\/em>&nbsp;control weeds that would otherwise steal moisture and nutrients from crops \u2013 and enable farmers to utilize no-till farming that avoids breaking up soils, reduces erosion, retains soil moisture and preserves vital soil organisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technologies developed in Israel make it possible to grow an amazing array of crops in the Negev and Arava Deserts, which receive a fraction of the annual rainfall that Arizona gets.&nbsp;<em>Desalination plants<\/em>&nbsp;turn seawater into 80% of Israel\u2019s drinking water, dramatically reducing pressure on the Sea of Galilee, manmade reservoirs and groundwater supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Israelis then&nbsp;<em>recycle<\/em>&nbsp;90% of their home, business, school and hospital water \u2013 for use in agriculture, where&nbsp;<em>drip irrigation<\/em>&nbsp;delivers precise amounts of water precisely where crops and other plants need it, minimizing evaporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Huge&nbsp;<em>high-tech tractors<\/em>&nbsp;use GPS systems, sensors and other equipment to steer precise courses across fields, while constantly measuring soil composition, and injecting just the right kinds and amounts of fertilizers and herbicides, along with seeds, to ensure optimal harvests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all these technologies are available across the globe. However, farmer can access information about both the technologies and the modern practices through&nbsp;<em>online libraries and programs<\/em>&nbsp;on cell phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, this progress is under assault \u2013 by ill-advised or&nbsp;<em>ill<\/em>\u2013<em>intended<\/em>, but&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/robertbryce.substack.com\/p\/the-billionaires-behind-the-gas-bans\">well-funded organizations<\/a>&nbsp;that want to turn the Green Revolution into Green Tyranny, Eco-Imperialism and global malnutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their hatred of biotech crops is intense and well-documented. But many also despise hybrid seeds. They want modern herbicides and insecticides banned, in favor of \u201cnatural\u201d alternatives \u2013 which&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/risk-monger.com\/2016\/04\/13\/the-risk-mongers-dirty-dozen-12-highly-toxic-pesticides-approved-for-use-in-organic-farming\/\">are often toxic<\/a>&nbsp;to bees, fish, other animals and people and have not been tested for long-term harm to humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These agricultural anarchists also demand \u201cnatural\u201d fertilizers, which typically provide a fraction of the nutrients that modern synthetic fertilizers do. At the very least, they want global organic farming, which would mean much lower crop yields per acre than conventional farming, and plowing many millions of additional acres of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zmescience.com\/science\/news-science\/organic-food-more-land-same-carbon\/\">wildlife habitat and scenic land<\/a>, to get the same amounts of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They say people in Africa, Asia and Latin America should practice&nbsp;<em>subsistence<\/em>&nbsp;farming \u2013 which they prefer to call \u201ctraditional\u201d farming,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2020\/02\/23\/keeping-africa-on-the-brink-of-starvation\/\">Agro-Ecology<\/a>, \u201cfood sovereignty,\u201d or the \u201cright to choose\u201d \u201cculturally appropriate\u201d food produced through \u201cecologically sound and sustainable methods,\u201d based on \u201cindigenous agricultural knowledge and practices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In plain English, Agro-Ecology is rabidly opposed to biotechnology, monoculture farming, non-organic fertilizers, chemical pesticides, and even mechanized equipment and hybrid seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can imagine how Agro-Ecologists would react if African farmers wanted to assert their food sovereignty, self-determination and right to choose by planting&nbsp;<em>biotech Bt corn<\/em>, to get higher yields, reduce pesticide use, enjoy better living standards and send their kids to school. The agro-anarchists would vilify them as vile supporters of violence against women, land-grabbing corporations, mass expropriation of indigenous rights, genocide and other \u201ccrimes against humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They also promote \u201calternative protein.\u201d They say Africa would be \u201cthe perfect laboratory\u201d for testing new foods \u2013 such as \u201ccrackers, muffins, meat loaves and sausages\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/insect-meat-loaf-fertilizer-trees-and-mosquito-repelling-plants-malabo-montpellier-panel-report-analyzes-how-africa-is-harnessing-nature-toward-developing-a-vibrant-bioeconomy\/\">made from&nbsp;<em>lake flies<\/em><\/a>.
