We need more capacity at abattoirs also more poultry processors.

We at Saunders Family Farm encourage the growth of diverse selection cultivars to help feed and encourage all insects.

Here’s why it matters. Healthy soils provide healthy, nutrient-dense food. Our current plant breeding and loss of soil organic matter have produced plants lower... in nutrients (2 billion malnourished in the world), higher in carbohydrates and lower in protein (leading to overweight and obesity in 2 billion and malnutrition). Research shows that by 2050 increasing C02 levels and poor soil quality will worsen the nutrient composition of the food we grow could result in zinc deficiency for 175 million people, protein deficiency for 122 million and iron deficiency in 1 billion. There is less calcium, magnesium, iron and other minerals in the food today compared to 100 years ago. The healthy soils that have nurtured agriculture in the past were created by geological processes as well as dynamics between solar energy, plants, large animals, and soil microbiology. A very robust economy and barter system. Killing the life of the soil by turning it to dirt has led to up to a 40 percent decrease in the nutrient density of plants we eat because the microbes in soil help plants extract those nutrients. Just as you can’t get blood from a stone, you can’t get nutrients from dirt. You can learn more about this in my latest book, Food Fix. See more

The soybeans are in the bin. The winter grain has been planted.
