Herbicides & pesticides exist because...…..
1- consumers want their food to be perfect ie. no blemishes for you tomatoes or apples etc....
2- famers want a higher yield for their crops- ie more bushels per acre more cash
3- we don't want any of those pesky 'bugs' invading our homes/workplaces ie bedbugs, fleas etc.
If we do not want perfect food at low prices, then we can get rid of Herbicides & pesticides- but that ain't happening soon.
As the world population continues to rise << now 7 billion and counting >> = we need more food to be produced per acre because...……
well all the available arable land is already in use...……… you have no alternative to more per acre...
AND with global warming the arable land is shrinking and/or unavailable due to drought/war etc....
SO we have to change our approach to how we produce our food, and what we expect to pay for that food- if there is more spoilage due to crop disease pests etc.
What is there to help you ask??? << yeah I can hear you asking >>
Well there is GMO crops which are modified to resist crop spoilage due to disease, or pests- BUT that's a whole different thread there////////////
So when you shop for your weekly groceries ask yourself what you want for your food, and how much you are willing to sacrifice for it.
JMHO is all folks
due have a great day--- << if ya choose too that is >>>
