(Natural News) Monsanto remains unfazed with Tennessee’s recently imposed restrictions against its dicamba pesticides. The state officially became the fourth in the nation to ban or limit the use of dicamba after evidence was presented suggesting that drifting from the herbicide compromised surrounding crops not genetically modified to withstand it. Tennessee followed Illinois, Kansas, and […]

(Natural News) Google says the secretive project is dead. But whistleblowers at the company say otherwise, having recently come forward to suggest that Google is still actively colluding with communist China to eventually roll out a censored version of its search engine that restricts free speech. Known as “Operation Dragonfly,” the project had been a […]

(Natural News) There are many different ways to increase biodiversity and improve the overall health of soil. But recent research may have found that one of the most useful ways is actually the simplest of all: fallowing the soil and waiting for a few full decades to reap the benefits. Caring for soil often takes one major […]

(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) Sometimes the smallest nations can prove to be the bravest and most progressive in their thinking. Western countries like to believe that they are the most advanced in the world, and they certainly are in some respects, but when it comes to genetically modified crops and avoiding chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, other […]

(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 […]

(Natural News) Modern farming practices have been shown to increase the amount of aluminum in the soil available to plants, and reduce overall soil quality. When more aluminum is available to crops, it means the soil is more acidic. In humans, aluminum has been linked to causing neurological problems, such as Alzheimer’s disease. But could […]

(Natural News) A study was recently conducted to find out the effect of different production and conservation factors on some properties of blueberries. Among the production factors that were considered in the experiment were cultivar (or a plant variety that has been cultivated via selective breeding, such as duke, bluecrop, and ozark blue) and modes […]

(Natural News) In a recent experiment, scientists analyzed whether adding wood ash or crushed rock to a low-fertility soil, as compared with an unamended control, will result in a fertilizer effect. The results showed that the wood ash created the highest accumulated clover biomass over two cuts, followed by the crushed rock. The circular economy […]
