Farming has become very industrialized. Farmers are growing certain crops not because they have a high demand but because they are being subsidized. Farms need to become more local and support the community. Locally grown food is cheaper and it does not cause as much damage to the environment as the huge industrial size farmer who uses numerous harmful chemicals. One of the outcomes of farms becoming smaller and more organic is better soil and more labor. As the nation keeps growing and becoming more industrialized, poor people and the less fortunate will increasingly feel the effects. A more low-impact and labor-intensive farm will provide more jobs, healthier food, and a safer environment. Grass-feeding our agriculture will help restore the nutrients in the soil and the meat that us consumed will be much more healthier to eat compared to the meat that was fed corn grown with harsh chemicals.
The youth in today's society spends too much time indoors playing video games and and getting caught up in the cyber world. The youth today are becoming less and less connected to the environment. Getting youth involved in the outdoors will bring up a new generation that will be educated and have an understanding of the environmental problems that are reality.
