We have always said Garden Culture is more than a growing magazine; our social conscience drives our content. Although we are primarily a technical indoor growing magazine, we have always taken on critical social issues that involve food and politics.
We have done several organic themed editions, and this time, we included Regenerative Agriculture. Somewhere along the road, commercial farming took a wrong turn. From monoculture and GMOs to the slurry of insecticides/fungicides they dump on our food and the soil it grows in, none of it is good.
This subject is as essential to our species’ long-term survival as climate change. Many scientists believe that one of the only fundamental ways to reverse climate change is to put the carbon back into the ground. As it turns out, our writers are as passionate about the subject as we are. This edition might be a little light on gardening tips, but it offers a heavy dose of reality.
The road to recovery begins in our grow rooms, gardens, and kitchens and ends where and how we spend our money on food.
Happy Gardening!
