Manmade toxins are destroying the natural world and will lead to ecological collapse
Talk of a “catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems” is not hyperbole; that’s the exact terminology used in the first global scientific review of the world’s insect populations. Overall, more than 40 percent of insect species are seeing declines, while a third are considered endangered. The extinction rate of insects is eight times that of reptiles, […]

Agricultural chemicals and destructive practices caused butterfly numbers to plummet by 66%
In recent years, media reports have made most of us aware of the crisis being faced by both wild and domestic honeybees. As reported by Greenpeace, since 1962 the number of bee colonies per hectare – which is viewed as a critical indicator of crop health – has dropped by a massive 90 percent. This […]

Pest-eating bats are easing financial pressure on farmers and may help regrow rainforests
In the African island of Madagascar, bats leave their tropical rainforest and descend upon the ricefields cultivated by human farmers to devour plant-eating insect pests. Their organic pest control service may help persuade locals to preserve the forests instead of razing them. Every year, humans cut down one percent of Madagascar’s rainforest cover. They cultivate the cleared land to grow rice, […]

Glyphosate breakdown molecule “AMPA” found to harm earthworms and degrade the life of soils
Glyphosate is under fire for the damage it causes to human health, but it’s also hurting the organisms that form the basis of our food chain and the soil in which our food grows. Although GMOs were once touted as the solution to world hunger, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s blockbuster herbicide Roundup, which is […]

It’s time to look at soil health: Synthetic fertilizers, herbicides have taken an enormous toll, with long-term consequences
The thing about soil is that you cannot tell how healthy it is just by looking at it, and it can take years to determine the long-term effects of what you put in to it. For this reason, agrochemical companies have been able to push the use of harmful pesticides and other chemicals for decades […]

As global insect population plunges toward total ecological collapse, the corporate-run media still censors the truth about GMOs and pesticides
For more than a decade, Natural News has been warning the public about the dangers of the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides, and the genetic modification of plants to withstand the onslaught of such chemicals. In return, Natural News – like most members of the independent media – has been vilified, mocked and even […]

Trees help augment a number of contingency plans for farmers and homesteaders
A study that was titled, “Effects of local institutions on the adoption of agroforestry innovations: evidence of farmer managed natural regeneration and its implications for rural livelihoods in the Sahel” that was published in the journal Springer Open showed that trees are a great help to farmers and homesteaders in more ways than one. The […]

Conserving biodiversity in active pastures: The ecosystem can be preserved with scattered trees, according to research
A recent study published in the journal Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment revealed how scattered trees in active pastures promote biodiversity of the ecosystems around the area and help support forest recovery. Forests provide habitats and resources to a wide range of species, but as large areas of forests have been cleared and modified for growing crops and producing livestock, […]

Scientists: Long history of fertilizer use on land is threatening our water quality today
Imagine you’re driving down a long, straight road through rural farmland. One either side of you are beautiful green farms. The produce being grown on these farms looks healthy and appears to be thriving. Now picture the land beneath those farms as massive sponges. Like all sponges, put enough liquid in and eventually the absorption […]

Modern agricultural practices destroy the environment’s natural balance: Heavily farmed areas have little biodiversity, more disease
Agriculture is more than just growing and harvesting crops. It’s a modern process that has far-reaching effects, particularly in its surrounding ecosystems. This includes factors such as water quality, nutrient cycling, soil retention, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity conservation. In as much as agriculture affects its surrounding ecosystem, it also goes both ways: The ecosystems nearby […]
