Every Single Day Would Be World Health Day If We Made Our Soils Healthy First, According To Frank A Hilario – The Healthy 7 Of Regenerative Organic Agriculture!

With Searca’s Facebook sharing on “World Health Day” today, Thursday, 07 April 2022, I was inspired to share what I have been thinking about since February 2022 that I now call “The Healthy 7.”

But first, let me discuss what the World Health Organization (WHO) says about: “World Health Day 2022: Our Planet, Our Health” (who.int). The WHO asks:

Are we able to reimagine a world where clean air, water and food are available to all?

Where economies are focused on health and well-being?

Where cities are liveable and people have control over their health and the health of the planet?

My single answer to all 3 questions: Yes!

WHO also says:

On World Health Day 2022, WHO will focus global attention on urgent actions needed to keep humans and the planet healthy and foster a movement to create societies focused on well-being.

“To keep humans and the planet healthy.”

Please!

WHO estimates that more than 13 million deaths around the world each year are due to avoidable environmental causes. This includes the climate crisis which is the single biggest health threat facing humanity. The climate crisis is also a health crisis.

“The climate crisis is also a health crisis.”

Absolutely!

And how do we resolve all that? If you ask the WHO, the response is complicated. I am a simplifier. The Ilocanos, my tribe, are not fanciful beings. So: My personal response to the Climate Crisis is what I call “The Healthy 7” – and it is in Agriculture where we can bring about The Healthy 7 for the whole world:

1.      Healthy Soils

2.      Healthy Crops

3.      Healthy Animals

4.      Healthy Fields

5.      Healthy Bank Accounts

6.      Healthy Food Consumers

7.      Healthy Climates.

Healthy Soils

To regain soil health, what our farms & gardens need are organic materials replenished. There are inexpensive organic fertilizers. (PM me for the zero-cost organic!)

Healthy Crops

With all those chemicals applied in chemical agriculture (CA), the crops grow but are not as healthy as those grown via organic agriculture (OA). If OA is practiced instead of CA, the soil will be naturally rich and the crops naturally healthy – and thereby they can by themselves defeat pests and diseases.

Healthy Animals

No doubt, the animals raised in organic farms will be as healthy as hell! What you eat is what you become.

Healthy Fields

By forsaking monocropping and practicing muticropping, we will enrich the biodiversity of our fields and biologically decrease, even eliminate pests & diseases.

Healthy Bank Accounts

With cheaper organic fertilizers, the costs of farming & gardening go down, returns go up, and bank accounts grow bigger.

Healthy Food Consumers

Consuming healthy foods can only result in healthy bodies, no chemicals, no pesticide residues entering our mortal flesh.

Healthy Climates

With organic agriculture, we eliminate greenhouse gases that contribute much to disastrous climate changes.

Remember: Only organic agriculture is regenerative. Practicing 100% organic agriculture regenerates everything – our villages and all of us!@517
