”Just read this from ReGen International and thought I would share it. It’s a good summary of why we support regenerative and organic Ag in the Finca Alazan.
There Is No Need to Poison Our Food – Higher Yields in Regenerative and Organic Agriculture Based on the Science of Agroecology by Dr. André Leu, Regeneration International Director
Toxic synthetic pesticides and soluble chemical fertilizers are damaging our health and harming the environment. They significantly contribute to the rise of chronic diseases, the decline of insects, birds, and other species, as well as widespread pollution, algae blooms in our streams and rivers, and dead zones in the oceans. This is justified on the notion that without poisoning our food and environment, we would starve.
This is a mythology created through ongoing misinformation campaigns by the poison cartels, their captive media, researchers, academics, and regulators. This article clearly shows that we can produce more food that is healthier without these toxic, degenerative inputs.
Numerous peer-reviewed scientific studies show that pesticides are insufficiently tested for safety and are associated with many diseases impacting our society, especially in children.
Regenerative and organic agriculture founded on agroecology science serves as a sustainable economic model because of its lower input costs. Most inputs for soil health and managing pests, diseases, and weeds can be produced on the farm or sourced locally at minimal or no expense. This removes the need for expensive imported synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Additionally, using organic matter to produce biogas not only promotes energy independence but also results in residues that can boost crop yields by over 100%.”

”For those who don’t speak Spanish, the gentleman in the above clip very eloquently explains how living plants nourish the soil by secreting sugars and other organic compounds which feed the soil food web and create organic, humus rich soil. This beautiful miracle of photosynthesis is the key to building fertility and enriching ecosystems. Sometimes all the growth in the farm can seem overwhelming. We can take heart in the fact that the system is accumulating biomass and fertility. Managing and concentrating that biomass is our principal job as farmers.”
