A little Sci-Fi

Don’t you think?
In-Vetro Meat production, GMOs, Cloning, Vertical Farming. Why do these new technologies remind me a lot about the movie WALL-E?!
Call me old school and traditional, but I rather stick to “voodoo-er” things like Biodynamic and Polyculture farming (following the 28 day life cycle of the moon) before I turn into a robot and [...]
