After the turn of the last century there were many experiments with cultured monkey. There should always only one field crop, like corn or wheat. This is a principle which is against nature, working with ecosystem based on synergy and the whole complex, in which plants work together and support each other. Some plants root more deeply than others, which allows the absorption of minerals beneath the topsoil. When these plants, their mineral-rich content which in turn fertilizes the soil. This is how nature creates its own cycle. In natural meadows, always the clover and grasses. Clover has its minerals from deep within the earth and herbs, a healing role in the ecosystem.
Mono-culture meant the end of the use of natural ecosystems to agriculture. In order to achieve higher returns faster, more nitrogen fertilizer has been developed. Encouraged by the success of nitrogen bombs in World War I, led the scientists to develop nitrogen fertilizer for agriculture. Funding came from petrochemical companies, whose aim was to compare the national and international economy totally dependent on gas and other fossil fuels. Therefore, it is not surprising that these powerful companies enjoy warm relations with the defense industry. Oil is a great waste of fossil fuels, and many wars were fought in oil. The Iraq war comes to mind as a recent example.
From this perspective, chemical weapons, seen as the inspiration for modern agriculture does not seem a strange concept. The scientists said they calculate the minimum number of elements for plant growth. The idea was to maximize profits with minimal resources. The NPK method was the result. The letters N, P and K stand for three elements: nitrogen (N)), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K. With just these three elements was possible, not only to crops but also to a very fast pace to make.
Through a skillful propaganda campaign, created it creates a dependence on these fossil fuels, synthetic variants based, chemical or owner of the patent. Monocultures and artificial fertilizers have been hailed as the solution to the problem to world food. I have no one to be hungry, because now they could grow food on a large scale. Who would not? These days we are seeing the prices of food and fuel, food and oil is running out. The problem of hunger in the world has never been solved, while petrochemical companies have become richer and more powerful.
Most readers here know that our soils are depleted and acidified. How it came is not known to all, but. We will continue our history lesson. Although the method for the production of NPK was capable of large mono-cropping, plant health, this was very poor. Obviously, rapid growth was not valid, since these crops have been attacked by the cleaning staff of mother nature: insects, fungi, weeds, viruses and other pathogens, including cancer. Mother Nature does not allow for easy, high concentrations of organisms weak to survive.
