In this video and article, Dr. Mercola highlights the many factors of the soil that impact our lives.
Environmentally, socially and economically, we depend on our soil. Sadly it has been depleted over the years and even with artificial fertilizers in some cases, it will never be what it used to be when natural fertilizers were used because there was no other alternative. That is why farmers need to go organic to bring back health to the population they serve. For too many years the impetus has been on mass production of food and the look of that food to appeal to us in the Western World. Now we have to go back to basics to undo the damage caused.
The Impact Of Soil On Our Lives
- Healthy soil is vital to our health and a basic requirement for nutritious food to prevent disease
- We are very similar to the soil and its microbiome in that, what damages the soil will likely harm us, and today’s industrial agriculture practices are doing just that
- Modern agricultural practices and corporate greed are contributing to pollution, extinctions, sickness, poverty, farmer suicides, and rising levels of civil unrest
