“The Greatest Revolution Of All Time!” Frank A Hilario Calls It. “Born Out Of Love” – The New Eden

The greatest revolution of all time suggests itself today – born out of love! An intellectual reaction to Russia’s war on Ukraine on that part adversely affecting energy products. It also revives a lingering love affair of mine 57 years back when I graduated from UP Los Baños. First love never dies? I have always been a rebel thinkerer.

Above, the love image from 123rf.comsuggests The New Garden of Eden where grows Adam’s Apple in its original state: au naturel. Absolutely no chemicals involved. Entirely grown naturally.

Yes, The New Apple. From The Organic Revolution.

Revolution in agriculture. And it will occur in the Philippines first!

Here’s a wake-upper you probably haven’t heard. Luisa Maria Jacinta C Jocson says (“Alternative Fertilizers Touted As Import Costs Rise,” 01 Feb 2022, BusinessWorld, bworldonline.com):

The Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority (FPA) said farmers must explore non-traditional fertilizers after sharp increases in the price of imported fertilizer. “The challenge is to (reduce) our dependence on imported chemical fertilizers by encouraging the use of non-traditional fertilizers like organic, microbial, and biorational fertilizers,” FPA Executive Director Wilfredo C Roldansaid.

I say, “Don’t panic, go organic!” 100% organic. The greatest revolution I’m telling you about. Because the effects would be worldwide – and unopposed!

Count the results of going 100% organic in farming & gardening now:

Cultivation cost shrinks 10 times. At least 5 times.

“We have been asking the [Department of Agriculture (DA)] since last year to provide subsidies to rice and corn farmers to cover the cost of fertilizer” – the farmers’ group SINAG said. Fertilizer price nearly doubled to P1,600/bag in August 2021; in December, this went up to P2,500/bag. On the average, 10 bags of fertilizers go into every hectare planted.

Ms Luisa Maria says, “(SINAG) said that the government must provide more support to farmers to deal with rising input costs.” They are demanding that the DA subsidize the cost of chemical fertilizers.

Better for the DA to subsidize organic fertilizer (OF) for you farmers. Best if you make your own. Whatever material you use to make OF, the cost should not be that much. (What’s more, I can teach you my 57-year old zero-cost method, “WEALth” – for a glimpse, see my essay “Here’s Looking At The New Agriculture In The New Garden Of Eden!” 12 March 2022, Towards A New Eden, Blogspot.com.)

All foods become healthy – and buyable!

No chemical fertilizers applied, no chemical pesticides sprayed – no unnatural chemicals in or on fruits, leaves, whole vegetables. Consumers will happily buy healthy foods.

Food security is assured 100%.

Because everyone can afford all kinds of food grown by farmers and gardeners, the Philippines will become the new Garden of Eden!

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) disappear.

GHGs from the farms and gardens in these 7000 islands will decrease to zero, none, nil. I expect the pleasant effect we will feel within 2 growing seasons.

So: The best idea, and most revolutionary, is for PH Agriculture to apply 100% organic fertilizer. To Good be the Glory!@517

Knorr Of Big Business Unilever Thinks Big Business Regenerative Agriculture – My Tiny Country PH Also Should!

“Knorr’s plan for 50 regenerative agriculture projects is predicted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and water use by an estimated 30% while improving biodiversity, soil health and livelihoods.” That is regenerative agriculture (RA) news by Julian Cirineo (05 Nov 2021, “Unilever Wants To Rethink How Farms Work To Secure Food And Resources For The Future,” Rappler , rappler.com ). Note: 50 (not 5 only) RA projects to improve greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and water use by 30% – plus improving biodiversity, soil health and livelihoods. Note the last 7 words in the above paragraph. How can RA improve biodiversity? RA requires that the farmer practices multiculture (a few or many crops grown at the same time in the same place), where monoculture (such as rice-only or corn-only) is the practice – the biodiversity improves crop health because of the ensuing balance of nature, such as some organisms feed on other organisms that would otherwise become pests or cause diseases. RA is your

In Looking At The Crown Of Thorns, I Found The Clowns

We could use a surprise sense of humor!  Yes, especially on the wide problematic fields of Agriculture. There was this news that some high PH government officials wanted to probe Vice President Leni Robredo for “competing against” PH agencies in providing much-needed assistances during this coronavirus lockdown, and Marigs Laririt shared a picture-story on Facebook quoting Ms Leni as saying, “I didn’t know it was competition. I didn’t see any competitors!” Ms Marigs says, “Ay, parang friends ko kung sumagot si Mam.” (Ay, with Mam, it’s just like my friends answering back.) That is a two-handed backslap, and you can imagine the lady laughing! She is the humor-monger; they are the clowns. Today is Friday, 03 April 2020 and in one account ( Wikipedia ), Friday the 3 rd of April was crucifixion of Jesus and his crowning of thorns [1] .

“Natural Farming” – Aggie Journalists, We Must Be Careful With The Terms We Use!

Image
Look at the contrasting images: Which one is correct in claiming what is being practiced is “natural farming”? Top Image: This one accompanies the Anonymous WWF-Philippines story, “Mindanao Farmers Start Off the Year with Natural Farming Systems Technology” published online December 2019 [1] . The World Wide Fund, WWF, is a very credible international source of knowledge on conservation, right? Not this time. Very clearly, you can see the white plastic mulch covering the furrows and bare soil in-between them. Mr or Ms Anonymous, the plastic mulch is not natural. The soil not covered in-between furrows is not natural. So much soil bare, not natural, allowing so much natural water wasted because it had evaporated from the unprotected, hot soil surface! That is not conservation; that is not natural. The term “natural” is used here very carelessly . Aggie journalists, wake up! How come I noticed all that immediately when I saw the photograph? Because I learned my organic farming more t
