    Yes, it’s a huge issue. We need to ban use of vehicles in fields as soon as we are able to wean off them. Tires and exhaust all leave heavy metals and other carcinogenic compounds in our fields which get taken up into our food/crops itself. We need to bioremediate all of our fields and use drone fleets in the future to reduce pollution.

      I am always so baffled at how highways are allowed to run next to things like say…great lakes or entire farms and people think “that’s the produce I wanna eat!” It also makes gardens in a city feel so sad. But you gotta grow what you want, with what you’ve got.
