MODERATORS
Agreed. I did see that farms that apply for or keep an organic tag must rotate the crops to keep the tag. Right now only about 15% of our (U.S.) crops purchased are organic but I would imagine with education and policies/regulations.
It may be harder for specific crops like corn, but they supposedly have already seen nutrients rise greatly in situations where they have rotated the crops by such policies.
Hopefully it's a problem that can be solved pretty quickly.
As with anything lobbying will promote misinformation and strawmen that will slow down fixes .. because the health of others doesn't matter more than having an extra profit.
