2023 Farm Bill Petition

                                  Congress needs to bring together people and industries committed to rebuilding our soil. Harmful soil is causing disruptions with ecosystem diversity and farmers livelihoods. Our future needs to be changed in regard to becoming more conscious of our land and preserving it to the best it can possibly be preserved. The 2023 farm bill will have a huge impact on these preservation efforts, along with a whole host of other benefits.

A case-controlled study of diet and ovarian cancer, conducted in China in 1999-2000, found fruits and vegetables to reduce the risk for ovarian cancer, however, diets rich in salted vegetables, fat, and fried foods increased the risk (Zhang et al). You definitely want to eliminate salt from your vegetables. Diets rich in salt are

Changes in Organic Farming

Big Changes in Organic Farming Changes in organic farming inside the United States have been huge over the years. Increased organic food sales and increased demand for organic food. Supply from native organic farms were unable to meet the demands even though organic croplands have shown a significant increase over recent years. The 2008 farm act really handcuffed the organic farm industry for the next decade, by funding the bioengineering and non-organic farm industries in the hundreds of millions while reducing the organic farm industry funding. How Did Organic Farming Begin The concept of organic farming came from India when Sir Albert Howard learned their farming methods and championed for those concepts in the early 1900's, along with F.H. King and Rudolf Steinerto, to be used in the west for an improved farming system (Adamchak). Changes in Organic Farming Over the Years Organic food sales increased an estimated 30 billion dollars from 2010 - 2020, with certified organic cropl
