Farming to save the world?

     Why organic, self sustaining, farm sources, modest scale farming? Your not going to get rich! You cant feed the world doing that! Rain forest would still fall! Oil and War would still be rampant. Would it?

     Believe it or not these are the most common answers and ideas I get when sharing philosophy here in my suburb just outside of Columbus, OH as well as in the city. I have also spent time with "conventional farmers" who also reflect alot of this, what I believe to be narrow minded lies. 

     When thinking into and hypothesizing on such topics we must emurse ourselves in the environment. This, we are talking about, is one where many more individuals than today take up this practice of living and farming in harmony with the earth and community. This promotes a life style that is very rich in many ways. Money and the amount you have dose not define how rich or happy you are. This is very provable.
     With this is mind we are talking about communities where life happens very differently. Things like priority and goals are different than we currently have. Stop and think. Ask yourself, would this be such a bad thing? How do I like how things are going in the world today?
     In this mindset I believe we begin to expose the lie that we all must remain a science experiment enacted by a faceless individual or group who claims they are feeding and making the world a better place. I must argue without this general consensus as it is often seen we would not have a dead-spot the size of a small country in the gulf, we would not be facing the side effects of tooling with nature, we would be stronger as a civilization with an even stronger ecosystem (the ultimate infrastructure), and we would be more than happy to remain here on Earth for eternity and not face a future of fear and science hysteria of a doomed future.
     Organic Farming and Self Sustainability is the revolution! Carving the path to Freedom, Independence, and The Rights of Man which include the naturalist place in this world.
      In realizing the dream that is this farm, I now see that together we got to where we are, so together we can get to where we need to be. Forcing my way thru things only makes them ten times harder and more painful. Organic farming, beneficial recycling, on farm or locally sourcing, community marketing and barter, Individual goals and project support, all contribute to a healthy community which breeds healthy options and activity.
     Its time we evolve past these lazy tactics of slavery and war. We can do better! This is why my ambition is to change the world through organic practices.
