We met last Friday's first national conference dedicated to the French biological beyond the Alps that has only 1, 8% of the cultivated area and has a market trend now stagnant. The working group expects to reach 6% of cultivated areas by 2012 and 20% by 2020. The problem, however, is that organic farming is a method of culture was born and raised in the wake of the market economy, and therefore does not eliminate all the distortions. For example, the serious environmental impact that the transport system has food or chains are too long and none of the two problems are actually addressed by biological, simply because it is dedicated exclusively to the cultivation techniques, and not the economy, society and its consumption habits or the political and intellectual world.
What is needed instead is groped the chance to ask the question with which to question just what we take for granted: we can change the system of production, distribution and sale? We can return to a localized production and consumption, rooted in the specificity of the area? We can make agriculture more just? Until
one is a view deregulated economy in which we live, in fact, is expected following a vicious circle that's not good, how can I do? The growth, development, it increases. When there is something wrong, like you do with a patient who does not respond well to treatment, the dose is increased; worse? It increases again. What you do not understand is that the drug itself to make it worse, so we should simply withdraw. This is the chance, questioning what we believe is right or inalienable and unchangeable.
Obviously it is good that our countries will increase the share of agriculture designed to organic production, it is also time to stop believing, however, that This will put us safe from the many other problems that our own economic and productive system creates.
So you just have to think of change as a viable alternative.
