OrgAnnex promotes and practices organic agriculture and gardening methods.
Nature, not humans, Makes Life Possible
The Highest Life Forms on Earth
Humans are not the highest life form on Earth. Soil micro-organisms are. Wherever you step in this world, you are stepping on Life itself; indeed, it's our only means of support.
Transition to Organic Plan for Soil (TOPSoil)
#GMO crops are accelerating soil collapse. Money can't bail out the soil, but organic agriculture can!
Eliot Coleman Learns the Organic Method From Nature
Growing food is a lot of work, but do you need a degree? Not if you can learn from Nature. Learn how renowned organic farmer Eliot Coleman started from scratch - with a big boost from Nature.
OrgAnnex is for Organic
It's easy enough to be against something, but what about being for something?
OrgAnnex is for organic solutions, and for positive outcomes. Only organiculture can solve the most pressing crisis we face today. These crisis are all interconnected and have been building for decades due to unsustainable consumption. These crisis are, in order:
- Climate change due in part to chemically intensive industrial agriculture which releases upwards of 40% of carbon into the atmosphere
- Health care crisis due to consumption of pesticide laden, non-nutrient dense food (due to #1 above)
- Toxic land, water, and air due to #1 and #2 above.
For an awesome primer of how we arrived at this synethetic mess read Eliot Coleman's Keynote Speech. It serves as a history of USA chemical agriculture, and how SecAg Earl Butz began the destruction of America's #1 asset: the soil.
I very highly recommend Maria Rodale's "Organic Manifesto". A third generation organic farmer, her grandfather started America's first organic farm. You'll learn eye-opening things about E. coli and what Monsanto executives eat.
Organic is healthier for land, air, water, and therefore creates a healthier you.
