Healthy soil and sustainable growing

Most expect government to play some role in regulating products for public 
safety and health, but we won't get into the political business here. Suffice 
it to say people don't trust regulation at all. And for most, responsible 
living on the land involves getting control over what we eat and drink and 
ensuring our own health and safety from the land we have.
