Great article. People think that organic is some kind of leftism or wokism, but this is totally wrong. The left is aligned with big poisoning corporations now, including the agrochemical. Permaculture and regenerative farming is the freedom, libertarian way.

Thank you for this comment. I think an important word you used is "regenerative" - not sustainable. Perhaps Dr. Malone could write a follow up article on the significant differences.

Amen to regenerative farming! I am a big fan since the Soil Health Academy and Understanding Ag have made the business case. See my comment on soybeans, since soybeans are nitrogen “fixing” plants which are symbiotic with bacteria in the root system. How is the “health” of these bacteria affected by glyphosate? Reduce costs by using nitrogen fixing “cover crops” between rows and allowing the rubble from harvest to lay on the ground. This form of “no till” farming reduces the need for fertilizer, herbicides and water while building topsoil containing nitrogen and carbon.
