đIndustrial Agriculture:
- Destroys soil
- Produces tons of emissions
- Pollutes water
- Destroys biodiversity
đEcological/small-scale farming:
- Regenerates soil
- Captures carbon
- Produces more food per acre compared to industrial farming
- Increases biodiversity
Despite these clear benefits, small-scale farmers are finding it almost impossible to access the land they need. Why? Because around the world, government policy is privileging the big and over-regulating the small - at the cost of the planet and the health of millions.
