I miss your point.  Please clarify.  What is the "Big Issue" you're referring to that they're missing?

There's an interesting page at NewFarm.org with a lot I won't comment on,
but this excerpt caught my attention.  I bring it up because I have
terribly serious problems with what it implies - and apparently NewFarm,
the Rodale's legacy now, still hasn't caught on to the Big Issue - the most
critical thing - in agriculture today. Others have, why are they so far
behind?

----------------

Eternal principles - and the convictions that arise in farmers tied to
them - take a long-term view of caring for land, water, people and other
species. These values are often in conflict with demands for short-term
profit and efficiency, setting up a tension which gives these values-based
outlooks both a winsome vitality and a continuing challenge.

NewFarm.org's "Farming & Faith" section will feature farmers and
groups that consciously work out of spiritual values to practice
regenerative farming. Common to their vision of agriculture is a depth of
caring for the land and for their responsibility to farm for more than
economic profit.
