Dear editor,
Historically, presently and in the future, the role of agriculture is to produce enough food to feed oneself and sell the excess to others. This is what led to division of labor and our ability to pursue other endeavors.

This situation has led farming to become unsustainable. Some of us involved in agriculture are becoming very aware that a growing number of large scale and small scale farmers are following principles of regenerative agriculture, restoring the biology in their soil, thus significantly reducing their cost of production by eliminating fertilizers and chemicals, producing healthier crops with similar and better yields. Nothing short of a miracle for our future.
