Known Solution for:

Insecticides as pollutants

Decentralize ag crops- Huge mono cultures cause need for insecticides

Grow more of our crops in community gardens. There we can use non toxic methods to control pests, or even hose bugs off, because there is a small area in which to control pests. Smaller farms growing mixed and rotated crops are able to control pests fairly easily. Big single crop factory farms cause need for insecticides because pests multiply much more vigorously in a place where there is a single crop in a very large area.
