Organic Agriculture

Organic Agriculture—natural agriculture free from all poisonous fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, grown by farmers enjoying spontaneously in harmony with the rhythms and cycles of Nature. their growth and health-giving, nourishing properties are maximized to uplift the consciousness and improve the health of all who eat them.

There is already a rapidly growing market for organic foods in America, the European Union, and Japan, where the demand for pure foods now greatly exceeds the supply. Any country with the knowledge and organizing power to produce and export food in accord with international standards will be able to take part in this lucrative market,.

The missing element in agriculture today is the complete knowledge of Natural Law—and particularly the understanding of the relationship between the consciousness of the farmer and the Laws of Nature at the basis of the soil, the seed, the weather, and the environment.

But in the past, support of Natural Law in farming was unreliable, because the consciousness of the farmer remained undeveloped due to the weakness of education, and the knowledge of Natural Law was incomplete. The result has been that farmers unfortunately violate the Laws of Nature.

Agriculture is one of society’s most basic needs and activities, an activity that has been at the heart of every culture throughout the ages.

Until recently, the ever-increasing trend in agriculture has been towards large-scale, chemical-based farming. Harmful chemical fertilizers, non-degradable pesticides, and herbicides have destroyed the life of the soil, causing widespread erosion and sterility. Food has become polluted with the byproducts of these applications, sacrificing quality to unhealthy growing and processing practices. There is a continual emphasis on killing predators, insects, and bacteria in the food. The whole food is thus polluted with poisons and killing agents.

Excessive nitrates in chemically grown food can metabolize into cancer-causing nitrites in the digestive tract. Pesticides have also been found to cause hormonal imbalances, which may lead to tumors. Pesticides used in chemical agriculture have been linked to higher brain cancer, leukemia, learning disabilities and other disorders. The risk of this kind of food is especially great for children.

Food grown through chemical agricultural practices has also been shown to be deficient in certain minerals and trace elements that are essential for balanced development of the physiology, and the prevention of serious disease.

In addition to these nutritional deficits due to the method of growing, there is yet another problem in modern agriculture that is a danger to society. The production and sale of agricultural products have become focused on packaging, marketing, convenience and shelf life, with the result that fruits and vegetables are harvested long before they are ripe and have developed their full nutritive value. Unripe foods are then chemically or unnaturally ripened at the convenience of the market.

Food must be allowed to fully ripen on the plants or trees for the complete nutritive value to be present, and harvest must be at a time when plant vitality is maximum.

Nutrition comes out most profoundly in the last days of the ripening process. Since proper nutrition is the purpose of eating in the first place, food without its full nutritive value defeats the very purpose of our efforts to maintain a vital, healthy diet.

Even though organically grown, juices from unripe fruits, vegetables that are not vine ripened, or foods that are old or frozen are simply lacking in vitality and incomplete in their nutrient value.

The most dangerous of all the technologies that have come to the forefront in recent years is the genetic manipulation of food and seed sources. Thousands of years of perfect evolution in accord with all the Laws of Nature is being sacrificed to misguided business interests. These completely untested and unknown products are being promoted in an irreversible manner, threatening the health of present and future generations and the safety of our food supply itself.

organic agriculture is defined as "an ecological production management system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity. It is based on minimal use of off-farm inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain, or enhance ecological harmony. The primary goal of organic agriculture is to optimize the health and productivity of interdependent communities of soil life, plants, animals and people."
