Synthetic pesticides and insecticides. Imagine if pests and insects were driven out in naural ways by introducing predators and listening to the needs of the land. We wouldn’t be paying three times the cost for organic food, our planet’s soil and water health would be much less of a concern, and local, regenerative permaculture – buried in your backyard, in neighborhood farm plots, and in the middle of the city – would be the norm. Or at least in a perfect world I’d like to believe so.
