Is Slow Growth, the solution to 6.7 billion people?

By Alternative Channel's Youth Contributor Cody Larocque

With the world’s population now at 6.7 billion people; we’re not only running out of space but food will shortly start to be in short supply. How are we going to reconcile that damnable economic function of supply and demand? The amount of mouths keeps growing and the amount land is shrinking. There are many ways around this dilemma we could observe a worldwide one child policy, but that’s ludicrous, because that only makes us one step closer to a cold machine like society. However, we should at least educate the principles of family planning to other areas of the world beside the affluent West that can easily have access to aid when something goes awry. No, the better and more likely solution will be sustainable Growth Farming.

What does sustainable growth farming entail for the agriculture business? It means slowing down. Slowing down the often rapid crop turn around and letting the ground to breath, which replenishes the nutrients which are needed for healthy crop growth. But also by the slower rhythmic cycling of the crop cycles, promotes a rudimentary form of permaculture which has always been shown as beneficial to the environment. The benefits of permaculture are already well known for the integration of all aspects of the ecosystem, flora and fauna into a sustainable single entity. Though the change to slower, more environmental based methods of agriculture (which include choosing crops which grow efficiently and naturally in one’s environment, and reducing the use of machinery if possible) might seem like a hampering factor, it in fact, would pay for itself in the long run by reducing the need for GMO’s and overly polluted and sprayed foods. Slow Growth, also pertains to the method in which a farmer would raise his livestock. Instead of being cooped up the animals would need to be given free range, and a natural diet. As of now we feed, live stock with grain which we grow for them, that could go to feed the less agriculturally productive nations.

Sustainable Growth Farming’s ideals and beliefs often mesh with the Slow Food movements. The two in fact benefit greatly from each other. With winter coming on, farming is on downshift, hopefully in the spring many farmers will change their attitudes towards their role in the world as not only food producers but earth keepers.
