Re: [fukuoka_farming] re: supporting Organic, NF and towards "sustainable" and whole foods

Dear friends,
Yesterday my daughter who is living 170 km away in residential school. She
observed that many school children and adults are dependent on market food
are becoming sick. . Cancer is becoming common spreading very fast
as per my observation this problem is directly related with the health of
farm soil which is producing food. If our farm soil
is sick how this can be produce healthy food. Use of unnatural medicines in
farm to produce food is add weakness. Organic farming says if grown by
organic farming based on tilling food become healthy is wrong. Soil become
healthy only by stopping unnatural ways which makes soil sick. Same way
the treatment of cancer is possible by only natural ways.
