Agroecology and Beyond Organic

Agroecology and Beyond Organic: “And Yet It Moves”

Let’s remember the legend of Galileo Galilei. It’s 1633 and the Inquisition was still operating. Shall we play a game? Let’s test whether we have the scientific foundation (first and foremost within ourselves) and assess whether there are interlocutors, in official bodies around the world, with the professional and human skills to engage in discussion and listening.
What we want is to adhere to the scientific method.
Among the various elements and requirements of the method, Predictiveness stands out: scientific theories are not “absolute truths,” but models that are valid until better evidence emerges.
So, there’s nothing new in what we all desire and logically act upon.
Predictiveness confirms that all research and experimentation is constantly evolving. The limitations in demonstrating results may be due to the instruments used: for calibrating, measuring, obtaining reference parameters, etc. Imagine that today’s instruments would have yielded more data than research from 400 years ago, at the time of Galileo Galilei. Likewise, from now until 400 years from now, new instruments could correct today’s scientific theories and perhaps affirm theories that are unprovable today.
Let’s analyze the recent astonishing discoveries of the Linv Laboratory of Plant Neurobiology at the University of Florence. The same claims made 400 years ago would have caused a scandal.
What we therefore hope for is simply one thing: “Reasonableness.”
We all recognize the great value of agroecological practices (see Regional Law No. 21 of July 29, 2021, of the Sicily Region). We are aware of the cutting-edge, innovative, and proactive requirements contained in the law. Yet with this law, I assure you we have laid excellent foundations, but it is only the beginning of a Mediterranean Agroecological journey, which, if we so desire, could lead us to an Agroforestry journey (which is dear to my heart). I would add that this law could integrate and improve the regulations of various countries around the world regarding Organic Farming; and in Italy, it could also include the role of the “Farmer Guardian of the Environment and Land” (Law No. 24 of February 28, 2024, comes into force on March 29, 2024). Beyond the scientific aspects, the doubts that have always been attributed to more sustainable agronomic approaches are the reductions in production and the quality of the products themselves, with the resulting disagreements among experts.
As true researchers in the agricultural and agronomic fields, increasingly interesting approaches and tools for use in Organic Farming are emerging. The problem is when we encounter approaches and solutions that cannot be scientifically proven with today’s tools, yet still yield very encouraging results in terms of quality and quantity.
Here we find ourselves at a crossroads: whether to miss or seize the opportunity to learn about new eco-friendly strategies in agriculture; whether or not to embrace different technologies, today more than ever, with the compromised balance of agricultural land and the costs of unsustainable synthetic products with their associated environmental impact.
Albert Einstein said: “Everything is energy, and that is all there is. Tune in to the frequency of the reality you desire, and you will inevitably achieve that reality. There is no other way. This is not philosophy, this is physics.”
I’d say we can try to give ourselves some options, in a particular historical moment that demands rapid and effective responses.
Good. Let’s open ourselves up a little to “strange” things. They could be the future “Beyond Organic,” applied today. They can certainly be complementary tools to those we already normally use, both in organic and conventional agriculture.

A fascinating journey into agroecology: discover how nature and agriculture can grow together.

Unofficial data (and advances, which certainly need to be verified as they are very general) tell us the percentages of production advantages with:
Agriculture with Biodiversity + 14% minimum
Participatory Breeding + 33%
Conservation and Natural Agriculture + 10%
Magnetic Agriculture and Electroculture + 20 – + 200%
Pranic and Radionic Agriculture + 33%
Agriculture with Ozonated Water + 14%
Climatic and Syntropic Agriculture + 50%
Aeroponic, Hydroponic, and Aquaponic Agriculture
Agriculture with Quantum Physics (SMT) + 10 – 121%
Agriculture with Music Therapy + 20%
Biodynamic Agriculture and Agro-Homeopathy
Organic and Regenerative Agriculture
Micronatural and Microorganic Agriculture
Food Forest, Permaculture, and Synergistic Agriculture
Circular Horticulture and BioGeometry
Agriculture with the use of EM Effective Microorganisms + 30%
Dowsing and Radionics

The words of Nikola Tesla, a great innovative genius, arouse great curiosity, and we understand them more than ever before. He stated: “If you want to understand the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.”
We are familiar with some of the techniques mentioned, and they are becoming increasingly popular.
Others have only recently received scientific recognition, such as E.M. Effective Microorganisms (biology) with universities; S.M.T. Supra Molecular Technology (quantum physics) with universities and experimental centers.
Others are new to us and are disconcerting because they are not subjects we studied at university (e.g., those in Italy called Agricultural Sciences and Forestry Sciences).
From today, we can begin to investigate and observe, verifying the percentages in terms of quality and quantity.
However, the results are truly very interesting and are confirmed by many (both professional colleagues in the field and agricultural producers) who tell us, shrugging their shoulders and arms, sighing, with astonished eyes, what Galileo Galilei said: “and yet it moves”.
