We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

There are other ways to grow high yield food without using pesticides if that's your primary goal. Like indoor vertical farming in a controlled environment. Recently some growers have proven this is viable and profitable. Pesticides in any form are bad for the soil, bad for our health, and decimate the bee and bug populations, which fuck with the ecosystem. Wasting resources includes our natural resources, which are our biggest asset.
