James___ ★★★★★ (5513)	This is just for fun because we know salt kills. And GMO isn't organic. To consider a world with over 7 Billion people, organic might be a little too expensive and this opens the door for GMO. All that means is that the plant/tree isn't found in the natural world. It was genetically modified. And many people when given the choice between going hungry and GMO will choose to have dinner. Many plants have been cross pollinated. GMO is essentially artificially changing the DNA. RNA doesn't allow for complex attributes that DNA allows for. At present, no scientist can explain the existence of DNA. Natural variation does allow for it. And in equatorial countries in the Middle East and Africa, salt tolerant agriculture might become a source of income and political stability. It could also help to push back the Sahara desert. And for something like this, a better solar panel won't work. What might work is direct solar radiation and vacuum. Vacuum decreases the temperature at which water evaporates. And that's what would make Mediterranean Africa and the Middle East places where such innovation might allow for agricultural production instead of desert. And if ya'all are wondering, if we look at what we couldn't do 100 years ago, this is considering something on a much simpler level. And economics would determine the scale to which it is done. https://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheet/salt-tolerant-plants-for-the-south-carolina-coast/

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5196)	I think Jimmy was referring to the over-priced 'organically' foods at the grocery store, which often come from the same farms as normal food. 'Organic' really means wormy, blemished, small, misshapen, basically, they have to sell to the canneries, for very little money, and feel lucky to get that.

Not even trying to hide it. Ever watch Fiddler on the Roof? Paul Michael Glaser played Perchik? ibdm reminds me of his character. The Communist Party was logical. It evenly distributes the wealth while empowering workers. In reality, people who think they know how to run a country should be given absolute power. In this instance ibdm might have made a mistake. Or you could say that he appeals to people who want a simple, very basic logic to believe in. How do you think sects get started?

Among them, you have to use real shit to fertilize the fields instead of sanitary fertilizers. Oh, 'organic'' costs quite a bit more too. It's still just a label, a brand, which can represent quite a few farms. Could you send a product sample to a lab, and definitively prove it wasn't organic? There are 'organic' farms, since it's cheaper, without chemicals. The quality and yield isn't ideal, but they can charge higher prices to make up for it. I've no proof, but seems like somebody would have seen a way to profit, of the rejects from the chemical farms, that look very similar to 'organic' farmed. Farmers usually sell bulk, and buyers usually do business with several farms. The product gets sorted, labeled, and packaged, shipped to the next buyer. Could also go through several of these, before the stores. Would be surprise a few stores rebrand as well, rather than dispose of farm product, because they don't look perfect.

It might be making a better solar panel might be needed. This si because of the power requirements when considering the volume of water that would need to be desalinated. https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/halophyte This brings up something to consider, can electrolysis keep Na and Cl separate in salt water so that drains can be placed by the anode and cathode similar to how hydrogen is generated? When salt dissolves in water, the Na and Cl become separated. Could make for an interesting chemistry experiment. https://www.dummies.com/education/science/chemistry/ions-atoms-with-an-electrical-charge/
