Healthy Living

Nowadays, people are realising the harm that
artificial chemicals such as preservatives
and pesticides can do to our body.
Some pictures from my recent trip to Lujiang.

A vegetable farm in Lujiang tries to
cultivate crops without the use of pesticides.


Basically , the more pesticides you spray,
the insects simply become more immune to them.

So, how do you get the insects to stay off your crops?

Ask them!





They set aside a small piece of land to grow some crops that the insects like.





A letter written to the insects is set up at the farm.
In the letter, they invite insects to the "insect resturant" to enjoy their meal
and a designated area to rest.

The insects are told the aim of the cultivation is
to regain people's confidence in traditional farming.

The insects are also told to avoid areas where people worked to avoid injuring
them.

Finally, forgiveness is seek if any injuries to the insects are resulted.

"Absurdity!?" I hear you say?

Look at the results.
