That last statement says it all. No matter what problem exists in growing crops there is a natural solution. Every insect has natural predators that are not being encouraged.
Two problems exist. Far too many chemicals are being used for one thing and the other is that vast areas are devoted to single crops encouraging the development of diseases.

All of the problems come from the need to produce crops at the least cost and least loss. Even though it will mean less profit we have to change the way we grow our crops.
