(Natural News) This is the worst economic disaster for U.S. farmers in modern American history.  Our ongoing trade war with China had greatly depressed prices for wheat, corn and soybeans, and so farmers were storing more crops on their farms than ever before in early 2019.  And then the floods came.  The water moved so […]

(Natural News) Now that two juries have named Monsanto’s top weedkiller, Roundup, as a “substantial factor” in causing cancer in at least two people, concerns about current farming practices are on the rise. The food industry has a dirty little secret they’ve been hiding for many years: Farmers sometimes use Roundup for off-label purposes — […]

(Natural News) The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s stated purpose is helping farmers and ensuring the safety of the U.S. public when it comes to food, but lately they seem a lot more interested in helping the GMO industry than protecting Americans’ health. To date, the government agency has given non-regulated status to at least […]

(Natural News) It’s extremely rare to hear a scientist criticize his very own, highly profitable discovery. The creator of genetically modified potatoes is now coming clean about the hidden dangers of the technology. Once blinded by his ambition, Caius Rommens now admits, “I somehow managed to ignore the almost daily experience that GM potatoes were […]

(Natural News) The thing about soil is that you cannot tell how healthy it is just by looking at it, and it can take years to determine the long-term effects of what you put in to it. For this reason, agrochemical companies have been able to push the use of harmful pesticides and other chemicals […]

While serving as Simplot Plant Sciences’ Director of Research in the early 2000s, Caius Rommens led the […]

(Natural News) A new study has just confirmed that using wastewater to water crops is a major threat to public health. Now, there are even more questions about the safety of using biosolids, or biosludge, which comes from wastewater, to fertilize soil and crops here in the United States. The re-purposing of human waste for […]

(Natural News) The federal government is determined to bio-engineer artificial insects, having demonstrated a willingness to say just about anything in order to justify it – including by claiming that fake bugs bearing genetically-modified (GM) viruses are necessary to save our food supply. The so-called “Insect Allies” project, hatched by the Pentagon and funded by […]

(Natural News) Unbeknownst to the vast majority of Americans, the federal government has quietly given the green light for companies to take treated sewage and spread it all over America’s food crops as “fertilizer.” It’s a form of “recycling” that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) claims is completely safe, but that a whistleblower has […]

(Natural News) Modern farms these days have dispensed with the familiar hedgerows that surround crop fields in the name of maximum efficiency and productivity. This is a mistake because a study conducted by California-based researchers showed that these natural habitats can benefit nearby farms. Restoring these so-called field edge habitats will improve the productivity and […]
