thanks for this story we all need to take part in growing are own food we all need to stay woke and have to shout out with a loud voice that we do not want to have non GMO food /if you can do videos that speak to why you choose to grow organically and the challenges that you face as a farmer that would help people understand the importance of the work that you do I love your videos very informative keep up the good work
Agribusiness grows food first for profit, then to "feed" the people, who do not care to be watchdogs over what these corporations are actually doing to the food in the name of science….
Merry Christmas to you and yours As you know I have great respect for yourself and your approach to soil focused agriculture
I have read through the comments and would like to clarify that GMO (genetically modified organisms) which can use gene splicing between plants and animals is not the same as CRISPR
CRISPR is used to directly modify the dna of plants/animals/humans
It really is a groundbreaking genetic technology which can be used to correct a growing number of DNA based disease's
Think of GMO as Frankenstein and CRISPR as a gift from the heavens
No need for splicing animal genes into plants as with GMO, CRISPR allows us to create bespoke plants by modifying their DNA directly
Do look at CRISPR Papers on the web and give everyone your opinion as to why we should or should not use it for accelerated plant breeding
Very eye opening Mark-thanks for bringing this to us. I would like to see more videos just like this Mark. It is so important. I hope you and all your family and friends have a beautiful Christmas Holiday Season.
I look forward what you are going to uncover. Im not sure ‘organic’ necessarily implies nutrients. On the contrary as I look at organic growers in CA I’m not sure they are solving for nutrients. I think you will point us to the way to have both organic and nutrient dense foods. Thank you
Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas, Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year to you and your family. I'm trying to grow more organic and nutrient dense food for my family here in Arizona. This year alone we have increased our top soil with compost, amendments and covered with wood chip mulch and planted numerous trees (Moringa, citrus, fig, and assorted other fruit trees).
UGH I hate that they are putting this greed driven garbage in kids heads. As FFA let's hope they do their own research. Merry Christmas to you and your family Mark, looking forward to your soil health info, Happy New (growing) Year 🙂
That’s the worst I’ve ever seen!!! They’re creating people who are blinded by people who don’t care about our health! I’m glad I’m a backyard gardener and I enjoy my organic food Science is poopoo and farmers should be ashamed of themselves! I’m sure they get government subsidies
Back 2013 I was involved with 4H and The GMO or GE companies were giving lots of money and rewriting the teaching material that the 4H was using. I think FFA is doing the same thing.
We have to drop meat and dairy consumption by up to 90% to get within greenhouse gas targets. If we do that, we will never ever have a problem feeding the world again.
Really looking forward to soil health becoming more wide spread. My kale us enormous and it's growing next to enormous sunflowers. I can see their synergy.
I have a community garden in town, What is grown is totally free to pick, by anyone, any time, no questions asked. Of the 3-5000 sqft of greens.. I'd say there have been maybe.. maybe 10 people pick a trash bag full each time.. and that's it. basically, we have to BEG people to pick it. The area is also in the middle of an obesity crisis.
So.. sounds like people are hungry to me. Malnourished very likely.. and yes, you can be obese and malnourished at the same time. The problem is overproduction of the wrong thing, the massive waste of what is produced, and.. well. you know.
Listening to the genetic engineer guy makes my stomach hurt. I bet if I eat his food I would get my stomach hurt.

Mark because of you I am going all soil food web gardening with the help of a lot of leaves.

Excellent info, Mark! Thank you
The poor newbies, thinking GMO is like magic, getting something for nothing.

Another excellent, educational video, Mark. Keep 'em coming!

Thanks for putting this out there! Nature's way is always the best way:)

thank you for the information on soil as it relates to nutrient content in the food. Looking forward to more.
Great video. I will really enjoy these upcoming videos. Thank you
Thank you Mark for this important information, May God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas.

Thanks for the time you put into this research. I'm looking forward to learning more from you this coming year.
I'm not sure that company realized how having a magician sell their products is a perfect analogy.
Looking forward to your next vid.

How AWFUL are those chairs, by the way!? Thanks so much for this, Mark! We need to know this for our future generations.
Thanks, Soil Health is something that I have been trying to push, because the environmental benefits are great too.

Hi Mark, have you checked out the Bionutrient Food Assoc with Dan Kittredge?
thank you for speaking to the importance of regenerating soil. Dr. Ingram has been doing this for years.
