1 Organic/Biological Agriculture 16 October declared the new direction for the MoA Bio Ag Natural Science! Biological Agriculture focus on the biological community that lives in healthy soil and give natural abilities to grow vegetation
2 Mindset! Paradigm Shift!
3 Your Mindset governs your DIRECTION
4 THE OLD PARADIGM
5 Everyday the farmer arises out of bed in the morning and goes to war, wondering what he is going to HAVE to kill today and by what means. This is the WARRING MENTALITY or paradigm of the green revolution It spreads death and destruction everywhere in the wake of its path including the ENVIRONMENT
6 The New Paradigm Aligning ourselves with NATURE - A farming system that enhances the environment thus, enhancing nutrition - Correcting environmental and climate change problems
7 About NUTRITION? Our food TODAY is LESS NUTRITIOUS than before World War II
8 USDA data shows up to 38% decline in nutrition: Protein, Ca, vit C, P, Fe, riboflavin ABC News March 1, 2006 by Megan Carpenter Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Se Average 63% decline Huling, December 15, 2001
9 Mineral Depletion in Food Vegetables Lost 76% of their Copper Lost 49% of the Sodium Lost 46% of their Calcium Lost 27% of their Iron Lost 24% of their Magnesium Lost 16% of potassium Fruits Lost 19% of their Copper Lost 29% of their Sodium Lost 16% of their Calcium Lost 24% of their Iron Lost 15% of their Magnesium Lost 22% of potassium David Thomas, Analysis of UK Composition of Foods Nutrition and Health 2003, Col 17, pp from The Composition of Foods, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Foods and the Royal Society of Chemistry
10 Measuring nutritional quality Brix definition: Using the plant sap to measure the sucrose levels in plant juices which correlates to all other nutrition.
11 Brix Chart: Tree Fruit Crop Poor Average Good Excellent Melon Avocado Cabbage Lettuce GpFruit Lemons Mangoes Oranges Papaya Tomato
12 ONLY Natural Science Agriculture CAN INDUCE THE HIGHEST NUTRITIONAL BALANCE IN PLANTS
13 Health professionals talk about nutrition, but don t produce any Farmers produce nutrition, however they don t talk about it but talk about $$$$! WE ALL need to know how nutrition is produced!
14 A Simple Science Photosynthesis Is plus Plus Carbon Dioxide Water Sunlight = Sugar
15 Sugar = ATP ATP in plant is used up in 2-3 minutes and is replaced by another new unit of ATP. ATP = Nutrition - such as the Vitamins & Proteins. The more sugar made the more the mineral uptake from the soil. SOIL IS THE STOMACH of the PLANT!
16 Outcome is what counts! High Nutritional plant matter results in: - no pest, disease or weeds to KILL - yields consistently greater than norm - premier taste, shelf life, shipping, storability - carbon sequestration,environmental reclamation. - humane, clean, profitable, sustainable production This also dissolves the common myth of Agriculture.
17 Agriculture should be at the front line of Health!
18 The Future and Challenges FACTS!
19 FACT 1 Pre-war farming for every calorie of fossil fuel energy we put into the farm system we get back two calories of food energy. 1:2 The modern food systems. It takes 10 calories of fossil fuel energy to provide one calorie of fast food or processed food. 10:1 The Organic System. It takes 7 calories of fossil fuel energy to provide one calorie of food energy 7:1
20 FACT 2 Increasing the price of food is not the way to provide food security for us, or the world. However the ten years prediction for the cost of a barrel of oil is estimated $350.00* What then, is the cost to agricultural production at this rate??????
21 What we need is an agriculture system that squeezes out fossil fuel dependants!
22 Agricultural Sustainability is Food Security.
