July, with the sighting of the “red moon” on the 27th is now history and August is the present.

Unfortunately, unlike the “red moon” alignment phenomenon, many things are not in harmony with nature - humanity, in his pursuit for “technological advancement” has, increasingly, disconnected from Nature and is working against nature instead of working in harmony with natural cycles and systems…..it seems humanity is hell bent to destroy himself by increased use of agrochemicals , synthetic fertilizers and other environmental “toxins”; these “agricultural inputs” are destroying the health of the soil and by extension the health of plants and animals. These “ inputs” are also reducing the I.Q of the unborn child!

• Alarmingly, researchers have noted a drop in IQ scores since the 70’s….what might be the cause? Here is an explanation: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2018-06-iq-scores-1970s.html

• Prenatal exposure to organophosphates aka herbicides and pesticides in farm practise and the food chain are the culprit: They seem to affect the cognitive development of the brain of the unborn child: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2018-06-iq-scores-1970s.html
• There is evidence that organophosphate pesticides, including the commonly used “harmless” Roundup Weed killer, are associated with reduction of IQ where pregnant women are exposed, prenatally: http://news.berkeley.edu/2011/04/20/prenatal-pesticide-exposure-lower-iq/

• Here is more evidence of the association between prenatal exposure to agro-chemicals and reduction of IQ in children. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21507776

• The aforementioned evidence (and more evidence from the references sections) is prove that the current industrial chemical model of food production is not only harmful to the environment and soil but also poses a serious threat to the sustainable existence of humanity.

• The synthetic fertilizers, a product of the “warfare chemicals” from WWII ,which produce ammonia/nitrogen based fertilizers, especially the phosphate based fertilizers, contain heavy metal contamination, which are harmful to the soil and by extension human beings; they cause organ damage, especially kidney damage and a neurological damage: :https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21507776

• What is the way forward? As recommended by FAO in the watershed and unprecedented assessment of agricultural knowledge scientific study re: IAASTD, 2009 report, humanity should embrace sustainable agro-ecological farming and food production systems that are harmony with nature and natural ecological systems: Embrace agro-ecological food production; “Cook and eat Organic” instead of cooking the planet and children’s brains, is the way forward…https://www.globalagriculture.org/fileadmin/files/weltagrarbericht/IAASTDBerichte/IAASTDExecutiveSummarySynthesisReport.pdf
