[QUOTE="melted welly, post: 7549818, member: 37168"] because it’s driven by a desire to have total control of the market, not some noble quest to save the planet. It’s meat today, fish/seafood going same way, be veg grown in actual soil next, then fruit that’s grown outside. Same with the chemical job, big Corps worried that their bread and butter of ‘icides have their days numbered so they’re pushing for the smaller niche biological products that have been the work of the small guys, to require registration, the cost of which will make it hard for smaller companies to survive and push that “technology” into the hands of those who can afford to sell it. Then suddenly it will work as the glossy pamphlets start appearing with positive graphs. It is hard not to become disillusioned with the way things are going. None of this alternate meat/faux outrage over livestock emissions is to do with making the environment, or people better or healthier, it is all about making money to feed the investors. We grew food without chems or fert for thousands of years and (steered by policy, technological advancement and incentives) we’ve slowly f**ked things up over the last 70 or so, so that now we’re totally reliant on inputs to produce our outputs. it’s not right.
