RE: Insecticide Ban to Save the Bees - Is It Necessary?
Great article. The bees do quite ok in Poland and other eastern european countries were farming is less intense!
I noticed a little error ''maybe cutting production by 1/5 (80%) wouldn’t be such a bad thing.''
I expect you mean 1/5 (20%)
Thanks for catching that! 😬
When you say less intense, is there relatively less farming in those countries, or is the farming more organic?
Both but its for sure more organic many are small farmers. In Germany & The Netherlands it's the opposite it's so optimized that you wouldn't believe. In the Netherlands there is almost no real nature left. Everything is cultivated nature or agriculture.
-13 million pigs on 17 million people.
-105 million chickens on 17 million people.
Well, I certainly don't know the answer to these problems, I know nobody does. But I do believe that the more people there are taking as much responsibility as they can for producing food for them selves and their families, the smaller the problem will become.
...and then the guys from Netherlands like Straathof come to Germany to built the bigist hog farms of Europe against the will of the local people and mostly for exports to Asia.
