Excerpt from powerful moving speech by Shiva Vandana to UK Soil Association, posted on Feb 13 2007.

"Something went very wrong with industrialised agriculture to introduce
oil in an activity which could be done better without it. That’s what
the organic movement is about. Fossil fuels entered with the chemicals.
They entered with mechanization, and now, increasingly with
industrialised farming joining with globalised agriculture, we are
eating oil. We have stopped eating food. And on the one hand, the
challenge here in the North is how to stop eating oil and how to start
eating food again. And the challenge for us in the South is how to keep
eating food and make sure everyone has a bit more."

Read this physicist's appreciation of the damage being done to food production through globalized industrial fossil-fueled agriculture.
