Agriculture is the most destructive industry that we have. More than coal mining and other extractive industries.

The coal mining industry is very destructive and it doesn't have to be.

Almost all the knowledge required to produce more food than eroding soil is available today - we just need to use that knowledge within a holistic paradigm - managing agriculture holistically, forming the policies that undergird it holistically.

Agriculture is not crop production as popular belief holds - it's the production of food and fiber from the world's land and waters. Without agriculture it is not possible to have a city, stock market, banks, university, church or army. Agriculture is the foundation of civilization and any stable economy.

Creative industries are more important than the car industry, luxury jewels, and fashion.
