Eco-farming Can Double Food Production in Ten Years

Here is a link to an fairly short article at Climate and Capitalism about a report from the United Nations.  There you can also find the link to the report itself.

“To feed 9 billion people in 2050, we urgently need to adopt the most efficient farming techniques available,” says Olivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food and author of the report.

“Today’s scientificevidence demonstrates that agroecological methods outperform the use of chemical fertilizers in boosting food production where the hungry live — especially in unfavorable environments.”

Here again is the same old problem.  No corporation can actually make any money/profit from this kind of farming.  The only people who might possibly make a living in this way are small farmers who take their extra produce to market thus making food available to their local communities.  And we have been taught that "small" anything has no importance.  The life and work of simple individuals can't possibly have any real relevance to the well being of the planet.   
       As long as "Agribiz" has the money to promote it's destructive and wasteful method of food production throughout the world, no one is going to hear the thrilling and exciting news that small farmers can feed the human population safely, healthily, effeciently, and less destructively than Big Corporations.  And there will be little money for research, education, cooperation, dissemination of information, and other types of support.  
      We need these facts to find a home in the human psyche.  We need this story in our reality, an image of small farmers being powerful and knowledgeable enough to feed our species.  We need to know that we have had that ability all along.  We never needed Factory Farming to move us off the land, especially in developing countries.
