Seed diversity and soil preservation are the foundations of healthy agriculture Over many generations, farmers have developed varieties of wheat, rice, corn, and other crops that are adapted to local growing conditions Industrial-chemical agriculture has abandoned that local knowledge, replacing seed diversity with genetically uniform crops that require large doses of fertilizers and chemical poisons to survive One way the United States exerted control over Iraq, starting in 2003, was to enable agribusiness to disrupt thousands of years of tradition by imposing industrial methods on the country where evidence of the earliest mass production of food was discovered Thus, it seems that conquest of people goes hand in hand with conquest of soil There is resistance to agribusiness around the world In the United States, small farms and urban agriculture are not only providing healthy food but also reconnecting people who grow up in cities with the life of the soil

农业的不同见解：工业化学与小型农场以及城市有机生产

种子多样性和土壤保持是健康农业的基础几代人以来，农民已经开发了适合当地生长条件的小麦，水稻，玉米和其他农作物品种工业化学农业放弃了当地知识，用种子代替了种子多样性。需要大量肥料和化学毒物才能生存的遗传上均一的农作物美国从2003年开始对伊拉克实施控制的一种方式是，通过向该国强加工业方法以证明其合法性，从而使农业综合企业破坏数千年的传统。发现了最早的大规模食品生产因此，似乎征服人民与征服土壤并驾齐驱世界各地对农业综合企业的抵制在美国，小型农场和都市农业不仅提供健康食品，而且使在城市长大的人们与土壤的生活重新联系
