Sustainable Agriculture and Bee Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD)

Those of us concerned about the declining bee population via colony collapse disorder (CCD) are worried primarily about agriculture; a large percentage of the food we eat here in the U.S. is pollinated by bees.  A new discovery, published just last week, suggests that the cause is a “witches’ brew” of pesticides and fungicides on which agribusiness has increasingly relied to maintain crop yields, given the depletion of natural resources in the soil through misuse/overuse.    

This, in my opinion, is a good reason to bring forward technologies like aeroponics, which appears on my list of clean business investment opportunities.
