Reply to comment by atlantis_airlines in Insects today are causing unprecedented levels of damage to plants, even as insect numbers decline, according to new research by Additional-Two-7312

Introduction of predatory species (by humans) that impact the herbivore/omnivore population but indirectly causes a decline in plant proliferation due to the lack of the digestion cycle/fresh groundwork causing less plants to grow in a given environment. Then insects are “forced” to migrate elsewhere and have potential to become invasive and ergo predatory in other ecosystems that were once more isolated.

Urbanization is also a factor for obvious reasons.

We’re killing our planet in more ways than just pollution and climate effect. No one ever talks about the corruption and flat out lack of accountability in agricultural administrations.

Socializing agriculture is the scariest thing I've ever heard of

Liberals know half of the politicians are corrupt (conservatives)

Conservatives know half of the politicians are corrupt (liberals)

And people with common sense know 99% of all politicians are corrupt

It's already getting spooky with certain folks buying up major farmland in the US. No thanks with socializing agricultural

This country already socialized agriculture once, it was called “the homestead act”.

Socializing agriculture would mean breaking up big farms and then subsidizing and paying individuals to grow food.

Our current system of spraying a layer of pesticides multiple times a year over large swaths of the country so we can have as much corn syrup pumping through our blood as possible is terrifying to me. That’s why I’m offering solutions

Socializing agriculture would literally mean paying people to eat healthier choices from their gardens and it would give more property to more people
