Misconceptions of traditional Agriculture

During the last few weeks I have been seeing that in some mainstream TV shows they have been depicting a negative and wrong picture of what traditional agriculture is.

I believe it was the show before House called Bones. Its pretty sad that a program that tries to claims some scientific background to it got it so wrong.

I have been working in agriculture since 1987 and believe that todays modern food production technology has been a major factor to the growth of our race as a whole.

I know and believe I have seen it in my travels the ugly side of todays systems. But if we are to succeed I am strong believer in the concept of SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE.

"Sustainable agriculture refers to the ability of a farm to produce food indefinitely, without causing irreversible damage to ecosystem health."
