Where Your Food Comes From - Video

Although this one doesn't necessarily pertain to your own gardening efforts, I think it is important to be aware of just where your other food comes from, and the impact of non-sustainable farming on the environment and our planet.

A just-released EWG study called "Losing Ground" shows that our nation's broken farm policy is harming the productive soils that are the foundation of healthy and sustainable food production.

"Losing Ground," based on innovative new research by scientists at Iowa State University -- and featured in "The New York Times" -- shows what industrial-scale crop production is doing to the land we depend on for our food. As part of this eye-opening report, EWG filmed Iowa farmland losing soil after recent rainstorms and created a short video (with Atlas Films) that highlights how federal farm subsidies and ethanol mandates are threatening healthy and sustainable food production.

If you are concerned about the food that you and your family eat and the water you drink, this is a video that you cannot miss.
