			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.<br />
<span id="more-75"></span><br />
The researchers looked again to the defense industry into something to find with to manage these pests and insects and other unwanted junk men of fighting Mother Nature. This was the notorious pesticides, fungicides, herbicides and other &#8220;CIDES. Their origin? Nerve Gas. Originally they were only nerve gas (diluted not surprising to know that is the basis of the chemotherapy actually), the mustard gas.</p>
<p>With the sale of the farmers for their crops with chemical fertilizers and pesticides to ward off unwanted intruders, which created a devastating cycle that can only be described with another &#8220;CIDE&#8221; nutricide, murder of nutrients. Crops are holograms so simple: from the outside may look like food, but it is really weakened pumping up the cultures of the lack of nutritional content.</p>
<p>The one-sidedness of the mono-crops, fertilizer and the destructive effects of pesticides has caused a significant decrease in content of minerals, our soils &#8220;insertion. Treat rich menu of Mother Nature, only three of the minerals with synthetic elements and&#8221; cultures with highly toxic pesticides in the various stages of growth have been exhausted, and poisoned the soil. People and animals that eat these plants will experience the rush and exhaustion.</p>
<p>It is as if he had known. In the 1930s, Congress had an official investigation NPK agriculture-based method. The report, which had the alarming findings in 1936 and is known as a Senate document 264th He warns of a health crisis of unprecedented proportions if these practices continue. The chemical industry successfully made powerful lobby the legislature, however, obtained through bribery, and the majority of senators on his side. Document 264 was subsequently dismissed.</p>
<p>NPK agriculture and the pharmaceutical industry is to prosper then. That the incidence of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other diseases of the modern welfare state that followed as a result. This created a system in which the first man made sick by eating poisonous food, made by those companies &#8220;solution&#8221; with drugs by pharmaceutical branches. Chemical treatment to go from cradle to grave. Why have we let ourselves be allowed so far in 100 years? &#8220;Now we have a crisis of health care experience warned Senate document 264th</p>
<p>Since the 1970s, the same chemical giant genetically-modified plants were to obtain patents on &#8220;new&#8221; seeds, whose genome has been altered. Monsanto gave us Agent Orange and DDT, is a leader in this dangerous game. For many years was the purchase of planting genetically modify and patent them. There is no patent on the nature, but revised, can be patented, in fact. There is nothing natural about GMOs, because only by pathogens such as viruses and cancer cells can penetrate into cells to alter their genetic structure.</p>
<p>Monsanto takes this idea further. Monsanto seed &#8220;Roundup Ready&#8221; means are feared resistant to the herbicide Roundup. That&#8217;s right, the seeds manipulated, so that crops can not grow without spraying with Roundup, the pesticide to make the compost too! Monsanto also has the technology to create a so-called &#8220;suicide gene&#8221; in their seeds so that farmers can harvest only one of them to obtain, forcing farmers to buy new seed every year. One can not conceive of a greater dependence on an industry which not only aims to control our energy reserves, but our food stocks.</p>
<p>The solution lies in the solution. To do this, we must return to the sea. Maynard Murray was an ear, nose and throat, he was about the deteriorating health than the average American, especially cancer, which was concerned a new but growing phenomenon in time. He had the unusual idea of using diluted seawater ground. His argument was, in a pristine environment no seasickness and animals and plants live at least twice as long in the land, no place is richer in minerals than the sea, the &#8220;soup of life. There are 92 minerals and trace elements in seawater and 84 in sea salt, the supply is infinite and there is no panacea. I think you know why this is not practiced widely.</p>
<p>Murray impressive results, and tests showed their crops contain significantly more vitamins and minerals. He wrote a book about him in 1976 as the &#8220;Sea Energy Agriculture. Don Jansen, a student of Maynard Murray, who cured his cancer father wheatgrass grown with the ocean. Wheat grass contains a spectacular 70% of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a magnesium-based and 98% identical to hemoglobin, the protein responsible for transporting the formation of red blood cells of oxygen through the blood. It is interesting that the sea water and 98% identical to the blood.</p>
<p>Drink With the growing of wheat grass with sea salt and the juice, it gives you two in the blood plasma in liquid form. Sea minerals and chlorophyll are also bases. To keep the doctor it is important that mineralize alkalized us on a daily basis. The minerals and chlorophyll contained the building blocks of life and life-giving solar energy and water as well as information of RNA and DNA. 70% of land area covered by sea water and 30% of the land mass, in which we live is largely herbaceous plants, mainly covered grass. Nature provides us served on a silver platter, but what is right in front of you is usually the first, what to ignore.</p>
<p>What is the soil is good for us, well, it&#8217;s good for the plants is good for the animals. We are all one and share more genetic information than we think. People have more genes of fungi in human genes. No wonder, polysaccharides, such as medicinal mushrooms Reishi, Shiitake, Maitake and Kawaratake prevent cancer in humans! It is therefore important to have good way to work. We have taken the culture of agriculture. If we are not on our soil, we are well on our own &#8220;card&#8221;, liver and intestine. There is a direct parallel with nature. The chemicals not only heal, what is the nature.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Organic food is now the fastest-growing segment of U.S. agriculture. In 2007, the value of retail sales of organic foods was estimated at more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. According to the Food Marketing Institute, more than half of Americans buy organic food product at least once a month. The industry is expected to be at a rate of 18 percent per year until 2010, sales of organic food is one of the fastest growing sectors in the U.S. economy is generally weak. Organic food, cut their budgets is not an option for many people who are fighting for their survival.</p>
<p>What does it mean, green?</p>
<p>According to the National Organic Standards Board:</p>
<p>&#8220;Organic agriculture is an ecological production management and promotes greater biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity. It is based on minimal use of external inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain and enhance ecological harmony.</p>
<p>&#8220;The word is a bio-labeling term that stands for goods under the authority of the law concerning the manufacture organic foods. The principal guidelines for organic production are to use materials and processes, the ecological balance of natural systems and to improve that to integrate the parts of the farming system into an ecological whole.<br />
<span id="more-73"></span><br />
&#8220;Organic agriculture practices can not ensure that products are completely free of residues, but the methods used to minimize the pollution of air, soil and water.</p>
<p>Deal &#8220;organic foods to keep processors and distributors of standards that the integrity of organic agriculture held. The main objective of organic farming is to optimize health and productivity of interdependent communities of soil, plants, animals and humans.&#8221;</p>
<p>This definition soft sounds meaning people associate with the term, such as the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides is grown for food. Canada `s newly formed organic regulation specifically prohibits synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).</p>
<p>The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) puts it this way: &#8220;Organic crops are without most conventional pesticides, fertilizers, petroleum or sewage-sludge-based fertilizers increased. Animals on an organic farm raised are fed organic food and access to fresh air. They are not given antibiotics or growth hormones. &#8221;</p>
<p>The USDA allows a sliding scale that reduces some of the hardships of his own definition. In this scale, that only products that are made exclusively from controlled biological materials and methods, such as &#8220;100 percent organic means, while those who are identified only 95 percent of the composition of purity&#8221; organic. Both categories offer a USDA seal. The salt and water as ingredients, except that of observation.</p>
<p>Then there is another category that will allow the use of up to 30 percent organic materials and production methods, but which may be legally labeled &#8220;with organic ingredients&#8221;. Products containing less than 70 percent organically, it is not allowed to call itself into an organic form. However, organic ingredients to be labeled as such.</p>
<p>Simply read these definitions and find out what is not contained in a product labeled organic is a strong incentive to buy only organic products.</p>
<p>Organic farming offers a Difference</p>
<p>Only in the U.S., more than one billion pounds of pesticides into the environment as a result of non-organic methods published. Some of them are very persistent and remain in the environment long after use. Extensive analysis of pesticide residues found by the USDA that are conventionally produced fruits and vegetables three to four times more often contain residues of pesticides than organic produce, and they are eight to eleven times more likely to contain multiple residues and wastes into new levels and fifty to seven times larger than the residues in organic samples.</p>
<p>A recent study reported in Environmental Health Perspectives found that the body of organic fresh fruits and vegetables for corresponding conventional food, the median urinary metabolite concentrations were pesticides, malathion and chlorpyrifos from a high level will be reduced to a level not recognized or unrecognized in the vicinity.</p>
<p>Conventional agricultural methods can cause water pollution. Since 1995, a network of environmental organizations began, including the Environmental Working Group, testing tap water for herbicides in the corn belt and in Louisiana and Maryland. The results suggested a wide contamination of tap water with many different pesticides at levels that serious health risks. In some cities, herbicides in tap Federal Health for life after weeks or months passed at a time. The elimination of polluting chemicals and nitrogen leaching by organic farming methods used, in combination with soil building, works to prevent environmental pollution and to protect water resources and to spare.</p>
<p>The term &#8220;natural&#8221; has no real meaning</p>
<p>The parameters of the word &#8220;organic&#8221; are quite clearly defined and specified. Many other food manufacturers want to maintain the attractiveness and receive the higher price of organic food, without going through the rigors of organic certification. Instead, they label their food as &#8220;natural.&#8221; This term does not in any way mean that the product meet the criteria for bio-equivalent products.</p>
<p>If it seems there are more products labeled natural, it&#8217;s not your imagination. Almost everyone who does not want an organic farmers take advantage of America `s desire to eat healthier too. One third of all new U.S. food and beverages in 2008 marked the claims of being &#8220;natural&#8221; or otherwise healthy. But concepts like these have nothing to do with the nutritional value of the final product. The term &#8220;organic&#8221; refers only to that generated as the product and do not relate to the nutritional value of the product.</p>
<p>The USDA, the regulatory authority for meat and poultry, said that these products can be described as &#8220;natural&#8221; if they contain no artificial ingredients or added color and will be processed only minimally () is a vague claim. But if the term is used, the label must also have an additional explanation, such as &#8220;no added colorings or artificial ingredients.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may be the term &#8220;natural&#8221; is used on food labels if the food with no added colors, artificial flavors or contain synthetic substances. This can be a big gray area. When asked in 2005, more precisely in the definition of &#8220;natural&#8221;, rejected the FDA. Shortly thereafter, the Center for Science in the Public Interest sued Kraft Foods for demanding an &#8220;all natural&#8221; for their drink Capri-Sun The suit was dropped, as the force agreed to take the outside of the label claim. 7 Up-makers tried to make the same claim, but avoids the concept of the label under the threat of legal action.</p>
<p>Why does organic food cost so much?</p>
<p>Prices for organic foods reflect many of the same cost as conventional products in terms of growing, harvesting, transport and storage. Organic food also must comply with strict rules governing all these steps, which are in a labor-intensive processes and management. Organic farming is generally on a smaller scale. It has been shown that if all the indirect costs of conventional food production, such as cleaning polluted water, replacement of eroded soils, costs of health care for farmers and workers counted in the price of food, organic foods cost the same or even less than conventionally grown foods.</p>
<p>A survey conducted in July 2008 revealed that were among the customers who buy organic products reported, 56 percent of household income over $ 100,000, and 36 percent had incomes below $ 25,000. These data show that the decision of the green store is a question of priorities.</p>
<p>Although the organic industry is expected to be 18 percent per year until 2010, the sagging economy could grow lead some Americans to carry them back on purchases as environmentally recorded as expenses. But in the long run, this decision is obviously not viable in view of health damage and losses, productivity associated with a diet of conventional crops, as well as the hidden costs of conventional purchase. And then there `s think tastes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">There were fierce debates about what kind of human was living habitat, a better social form for sustainable agriculture. Is generally assumed that the rural areas can improve the sustainability in the communities tend to provide a cooperative environment that supports agriculture.</p>
<p>Many environmentalists pushing for increased population density on to farmland, the landscape that urban sprawl is less sustainable and more damaging to the environment they live in cities where cars are no longer needed because food and other necessities are given to walk away. However, another theory has to ensure that sustainable or eco EcoCities connect villages, housing and agriculture, to the proximity between producers and consumers, it can offer more sustainable.</p>
<p>The use of available city space (eg, roofs and gardens in the community) in food production is another form of cooperation to achieve more sustainable.<br />
<span id="more-70"></span><br />
One of the latest ideas in sustainable agriculture includes relocation of production of food crops of large farms to large factories, urban, vertical and technical facilities farms. The advantages of vertical farming are year-round production, isolation from pests and diseases, controllable resource recycling, and local production that accounts for the need for transportation costs. While a vertical farm yet to become reality, the idea is gaining momentum among those who believe that the current methods of sustainable agriculture is not sufficient to treat is a future world population of 8 until 11 million people.</p>
