Farming Quotes

Factory farming isn’t just killing: It is negation, a complete denial of the animal as a living being with his or her own needs and nature. It is not the worst evil we can do, but it is the worst evil we can do to them Picture Quote #1

And I have to tell you, as tough as farming is, the idea of farming when you’re losing money year after year... that’s not life even, that’s like death. That’s eternal damnation Picture Quote #1

When it is understood that one loses joy and happiness in the attempt to possess them, the essence of natural farming will be realized. The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings Picture Quote #1

Organic farming appealed to me because it involved searching for and discovering nature’s pathways, as opposed to the formulaic approach of chemical farming. The appeal of organic farming is boundless; this mountain has no top, this river has no end Picture Quote #1

It is now 14 years since I first suggested that organic farming might have some benefits and ought to be taken seriously. I shall never forget the vehemence of the reaction.. much of it coming from the sort of people who regard agriculture as an industrial process, with production as the sole yardstick of success Picture Quote #1

Organic farming has been shown to provide major benefits for wildlife and the wider environment. The best that can be said about genetically engineered crops is that they will now be monitored to see how much damage they cause Picture Quote #1

Software touches all of these different things you use, and tech companies are revolutionizing all different areas of the world... from how we shop to how farming works, all these things that aren’t technical are being turned upside down by software. So being able to play in that universe really makes a difference Picture Quote #1

My mother insured that a life of petty facts and dutiful farming was kept at bay by her passionate intensity, which nurtured the essential dreaminess of his nature Picture Quote #1

... there’s no such thing as sustainability. There are just levels of it. It’s a process, not a real goal. All you can do is work toward it. There’s no such thing as any sustainable economy. The only thing I know that’s even close to sustainable economic activity would be organic farming on a very small scale or hunting and gathering on a very small scale. And manufacturing, you end up with way more waste than you end up with finished product. It’s totally unsustainable. It’s just the way it is Picture Quote #1

Farming is not just for growing crops, it is for the cultivation... o f human beings! Picture Quote #1

If a kid ever realized what was involved in factory farming, they would never touch meat again Picture Quote #1

Why are vegans made fun of while the inhumane factory farming process regards animals and the natural world merely as commodities to be exploited for profit? Picture Quote #1

An organic farmer is the best peacemaker today, because there is more violence, more death, more destruction, more wars, through a violent industrial agricultural system. And to shift away from that into an agriculture of peace is what organic farming is doing Picture Quote #1

I don’t know of a better argument in favor of farming with horses than trying to start an old tractor in the winter time Picture Quote #1

I envision a day when every city and town has front and back yards, community gardens and growing spaces, nurtured into life by neighbors who are no longer strangers, but friends who delight in the edible rewards offered from a garden they discovered together. Imagine small strips of land between apartment buildings that have been turned into vegetable gardens, and urban orchards planted at schools and churches to grow food for our communities. The seeds of the urban farming movement already are growing within our reality Picture Quote #1

Had history been democratic in its ways, there would have been no farming and no indsturial revolution. Both leaps into the future were occasioned by unbearably painful crises that made most people wish they could recoil into the past Picture Quote #1

There are 6.6 billion people on the planet today. With organic farming we could only feed four billion of them. Which two billion would volunteer to die? Picture Quote #1

Animals die even if you eat vegetables. That is the nature of farming. There is a certain sacrifice involved Picture Quote #1

I stopped eating beef in high school, and in college I stopped eating poultry. I am not a huge fan of factory farming and what we’re doing to animals. I try to eat as clean as possible because I want to know what I’m putting into my body Picture Quote #1

In the rush to industrialize farming, we’ve lost the understanding, implicit since the beginning of agriculture, that food is a process, a web of relationships, not an individual ingredient or commodity Picture Quote #1

The ecological principle in agriculture is to connect the genius of the place, to fit the farming to the farm Picture Quote #1

The more exposure people have to the realities of factory farming, the more we will see people rejecting it. It’s already happening Picture Quote #1

The trouble with energy farming is that the energy isn’t always where you want to use it, and it isn’t always when you want to use it Picture Quote #1

Taxation, gentlemen, is very much like dairy farming. The task is to extract the maximum amount of milk with the minimum amount of moo Picture Quote #1

If farming were to be organised like the stock market, a farmer would sell his farm in the morning when it was raining, only to buy it back in the afternoon when the sun came out Picture Quote #1

With wrong farming methods, we turn fertile land into desert. Unless we go back to organic farming and save the soil, there is no future Picture Quote #1

The grower of trees, the gardener, the man born to farming, whose hands reach into the ground and sprout, to him the soil is a divine drug. He enters into death yearly, and comes back rejoicing. He has seen the light lie down in the dung heap, and rise again in the corn Picture Quote #1

The proletarian state must effect the transition to collective farming with extreme caution and only very gradually, by the force of example, without any coercion of the middle peasant Picture Quote #1

It is thus with farming: if you do one thing late, you will be late in all your work Picture Quote #1

Farming is a most senseless pursuit, a mere laboring in a circle. You sow that you may reap, and then you reap that you may sow. Nothing ever comes of it Picture Quote #1
