Nature shrinks as capital grows. The growth of the market cannot solve the very crisis it creates.
Vandana Shiva, Indian physicist (date unknown)
“The organic agriculture movement has stood as a bastion against the encroachment of synthetic chemicals and technologies into the food supply, and against its industrialisation. That ‘bastion’ can be viewed, as a vestigial agriculture accounting for less than one percent of global agriculture (reported as 0.98% by Willer & Lernoud, 2015) and/or alternatively, as the world’s fastest growing food sector and the world’s fastest growing agriculture-based industry.” (modified from Paull & Hennig, 2016)
