"Over the past 5 years the world has consumed more food than it has produced." "With ~213,000 births a day, an additional 34,000 acres are required daily to feed the world." "Current farming methods, including (most) certified organic, destroy 6-24lbs of soil for every pound of food produced." "Biointensive methods can generate up to 20lbs of soil for every pound of food produced when practiced correctly." John Jeavons
