I studied agricultural engineering in México during the 90's, when following Norman Bourlough's green revolution steps were unquestionable if you wanted to be considered a succesfull & efficient technician, both in the farm field and the market scenario.

The transition will be painful and exausting, and also very lonely at times, but there is no other road to walk into if we still want to be part of this glorious living consious web that invited us to be.
