-
In nature, everything is linked.
-
The expansion of cultivated land and single-crop farming...
-
Encouraged the development of parasites.
-
Pesticides, another gift of the petrochemical revolution,
-
Exterminated them.
-
Bad harvests and famine became a distant memory.
-
The biggest headache now...
-
Was what to do with the surpluses engendered by modern agriculture.
-
But toxic pesticides seeped into the air,
-
Soil, plants, animals, rivers and oceans.
-
They penetrated the heart of cells...
-
Similar to the mother cell that is shared by all forms of life.
