Spider Jerusalem's rant about Monoculture, from Warren Ellis' comic Transmetropolitan. Voicing done by my housemate Colin Janke, music is 'Medula Oblongata' by The Dust Brothers, and the animation and putting it all together is by me, as am assignment for my graphic design course.

Do we live in a monoculture? Marc sings and let us thinking

Endless rows of trash nobody wants anymore, why did they buy it and who will want it, same junk over and over again. Including the appropriate theme tune for car boots by the Mighty Soft Cell, from the album cruelty without beauty

One crop planted at conventional farms, while Primrose community farms plants a diversity of crops. They don't rely on one aspect to their farming. Their goal is to food people, not to be economically efficient at producing only one crop.

Threats to bird populations include Cattle Rearing & intensified industrial-scale agriculture and fishing, the spread of invasive species, logging and the replacement of natural forest with monoculture plantations, the group said in a report released in Buenos Aires.

Questionning playing with the unknown: - Geneticmodification affects the soil in agriculture, our food, by reducing the biodiversity of the soil - geneticmodification affects the fertility of the soil's billions of bacteria and other microorganism, which we cannot even identify because they change and transform so quickly. By putting excesses of synthetic bt-toxin (from genetically modified crops (corn, soya, etc), in the soil, from monoculture agriculture (the agriculture that dominates in the world), this, among other consequences, kills naturally occuring unidentifiable microorganisms (bacteria, etc.) that maintain a rich genetic diversity and biodiversity, necessary for rich and fertile soil.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb_DcTCXVKE The world currently produces twice the amount of food we consume every year, and yet we somehow do not manage to transfer it to weaker countries and call for more production! while close to one billion people starve. SLOW FOOD calls for the relocalization of food production as the only viable solution to resolve the food crisis, climate change and the loss of biodiversity that industrial agriculture, a sick model, produces. The overproduction model, based on monoculture, pushed by Bill Gates and the Rockefeller Foundation called AGRA, calling for a second green revolution in Africa, is a failed model and must be unmasked for the damage it has caused and continues to cause. The only way of saving biodiversity is by eating it! Consumers become eco-gastronomers and co-producers. Go to your countries SLOW FOOD website and also search a LOCAL MARKET in your area! eat good clean and fair. Eat what grows within 40 kilomeetrs of where you live. Avoid food miles. Avoid all processed food because eating is an agricultural as well as a political act ! We REALLY CAN EVERY DAY! watch SLOW FOOD on ALJAZEERA U tube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb_DcTCXVKE a film by Nicoletta Fagiolo, Andres Arce Maldonado & Giuliano Papacchioli, Paris 2008.

Part 3 of 14 Machine and Noise Actions M o v i n g A I R (invisible matter, which contains oxygen, hydrogen, pollen, viruse, dust particles and who knows what else...) MACHINES and INTIMACY THE INTIMACY OF OUR FOOD, THE INTIMACY OF GROWINGPLANTS which become our food. if we dont eat, we die. what is more essential than food and water. what is probably what we take for granted the most in rich countries especially, but where our food comes from, who controls our food production, who is deciding, what is grown and how it is grown (what system is used to grow our food), and who ever thinks about this? genetic modification - let the discussion include interdisciplinary exchange and reflection: The destructive possibilities of genetically modified seed and plants, is not necessarily from an isolated seed or plant, such as those that are genetically modified to release a synthetic bt-toxin (based on a naturally occuring toxin released from a certain species of bacteria). It is when a whole field of gm seeds and plants release this toxin in the environment, in the soil, like any pesticide, it is the quantity, in such a mass produced way that poisons. And there is no interest in just having one little genetically modified seed out there. Industrial agriculture is about mass production of food. And mass production of food is about the efficiency of growing one kind of food, one plant, one crop, which is called monoculture. So putting one gm seed in a polyculture system wont do much. It is not about excluding gm research; gm research goes on in scientific laboratories, because of human curiosity to explore and understand and learn about the mysteries of life, nature and the universe, and is funded by business that is driven by profit making. But to use gm technology for utilitarian purposes, is absurd, when it is based in profit and for a market economy that ignores the destructiveness of the monoculture system that gm products is embedded within. Nature is utilitarian for human, and can be seen, as efficient, non-polluting and healthy, without all the synthetic inputs (put in for profit reason, because of corporate interest in the interconnectedness of oil to the pesticide-fertilizer industrial, monoculture agriculture industry). The point is moreso, that why buy a gm seed, which is weaker, pollutes and is in a system that pollutes soil and other species, and does not add to, but takes away from the importance of maintaining biodiversity and a rich genetic diversity for the health of the planet, and in particular, gm seeds are owned by corporations, so you would have to buy them, like farmers who run industrial agricultural farms are dependent on large corporations to sell them seeds, and all the other soil pollutants that go with it. you can get your seeds from nature (while they are still around) and for free, where we create polyculture, intimacy, small scale.
