How #organic crops can crash — and still never fail [with updated fraud]
Despite massive failures and extensive fraud, people still think some miracle of smaller yields will save the planet
Numerous headlines lately described a frightening scenario: during a global pandemic, the food security of Sri Lanka was put at risk, apparently by a neo-Lysenko plan to switch the country to organic production.
Sri Lankans watched as “a sharp drop in crop yields and spiraling prices” were making food availability and affordability become a serious crisis. There were many pressures on the country, but reportedly they can thank Vandana Shiva for pushing them off the cliff on food production, apparently.
But this is not the first time organic has failed. Even before the pandemic, organic production was failing right here at home. “80 percent failure rate dogs county’s $1 million organic farm program” read the headline from a Colorado US paper: in 2016. With full-on developed-world resources, support and assistance at every level, no pandemic, even a grant program couldn’t save organic farming here.
