Industrial Agriculture

Industrial Agriculture

Definition

A large-scale, mechanized farming system focused on high yields through monoculture, chemical inputs, and fossil fuel dependence.

Interpretation

Food without soul. Industrial ag feeds the system, not the people. It extracts instead of regenerates, and severs the sacred relationship between grower, eater, and Earth. In permaculture, we grow with life β€” not against it.

Living Invitation

Choose one food this week grown outside of industrial systems β€” from a farmer’s market, your own garden, or a regenerative farm.
