The fact of the matter is that today, stuff-selling mega-corporations have a huge influence on our daily lives.

With the advent of industrial farming and the green revolution, organic farming was relegated to the status of "quaint" or "old-fashioned".. something practiced by hippies on communes, certainly not by serious farmers.

The human brain now holds the key to our future. We have to recall the image of the planet from outer space.. a single entity in which air, water, and continents are interconnected. That is our home.
