Farmer's Battle With Industrialization

How far can one go to preserve the integrity of our food? Do we need to turn to religion in order to achieve this?

Hisotrically speaking, in times of chaos many people do turn to religion as a place of refuge, for answers etc. For example, when the events of 911 happened, many churches became packed on Sundays, relgious leaders came out of the wooodwork, and donations to religious organizations skyrocketed.

Is it possible to sustain an organic, healthy, environmentally conscious lifestyle without taking this kinds of measures as this one farmer has done? What have you done in your daily lifestyle that you can share with others that promotes a healthier, socially conscious lifestyle?
