Food crops have been the staple diet of most humans and animals since the dawn of time. The self-sufficiency of populations depends in part on the production of these food crops. This production is misdirected, with socio-economic, ecological and environmental consequences. Our era is experiencing the most deadly health problems in various forms because of this misdirection of agricultural policies. No-one is immune to this problem, even the so-called "rich". Citrus fruits and pulses are also affected by this phenomenon. The direct consumption of these food crops or through agri-food products is not without consequences for life on land and in water. If we are to save our planet, we need to change our food production techniques and strategies. The production of food without the use of chemicals is necessary for the health of our times on the one hand, and the ecological and environmental salvation of humanity on the other.
