Like several classes rolled into one lecture-biology, farming, with elements of philosopy and religion rolled in seamlessly. First the mind blowing idea - corn wants world domination,(!!!!) then the really simple approach that could really shift things just by getting out of our philosophical system of on/off, this OR that, us versus nature, etc into a different EASIER way. I just love Micheal Pollan. Heather PS I have a friend (a PhD who trained at Woods Hole) who is trying aspects of permaculture in West Virginia, most lately doing research on low till or even no till farming. He has always said that to get the soil balance right again we need to get s*** (manure) back into the ( agricultural) system. Wow, this is like a trip back to college only no tuition!
