AGRICULTURE (DAILY CELESTIAL CHALLENGE) @sirknight

With the introduction of agriculture mankind entered upon a long period of meanness, misery, and madness, from which they are only now being freed by the beneficent operation of the machine. The discovery of agriculture was the first big step toward civilized life. When you increase the number of gardens, you increase the number of heavens too! Agriculture is for living; mind culture is for life. Skills are for shaping material things so that they cater more for the comfort of man; studies are for shaping attitudes, feelings, desires, emotions and impulses of man, so that they may confer more peace, more joy and more fortitude on man. The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings. Here are two facts that should not both be true:

• There is sufficient food produced in the world every year to feed every human being on the planet.
• Nearly 800 million people literally go hungry every day, with more than a third of the earth's population -- 2 billion men and women -- malnourished one way or another, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.

Life on a farm is a school of patience; you can't hurry the crops or make an ox in two days. Advances in medicine and agriculture have saved vastly more lives than have been lost in all the wars in history. Agriculture is the foundation of manufactures, since the productions of nature are the materials of art.

NO FARMERS
NO FOOD
NO FUTURE

IF WE EAT TODAY THANKS TO THE FARMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
