Sustainable Agriculture Group July 4th- Revolutionary Agriculture

Starting tomorrow and Sunday July 4th, the Sustainable Agriculture Group will feature articles, information, and videos about agriculture in Colonial America as well as the current fight for food sovereignty. It is the spirit of this movement today that exemplifies the spirit that birthed our nation. To plant our natural seeds, to save them, to cultivate them, and to use them in a way that cherishes our soil and provides healthy food for our citizens is what freedom is all about. Our country is now on the cusp of a new Revolution, the Healthy Food Urban Agriculture Revolution and I think Jefferson, Adams, Washington and those who fought for freedom then would approve. Industrial agriculture deems to subject us to the slavery of monoculture seeds and thought. It deems to leave us subervient to the corporate agriculture kings who do not respect freedom. In that spirit we must fight as hard now as we did then to preserve our freedom to plant our seeds in this good Earth to preserve our environment, our soil, and our future. Join us in celebrating that spirit: http://current.com/groups/sustainable-agriculture/ Picture is of Thomas Jefferson's farm at Monticello. added by: JanforGore
