1AC Glenbrooks Round 2Tournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 2 | Opponent: Rufus King JL | Judge: Alex Pappas Contention 1 is Food Labor shortages are crippling farmers— a guest worker program solves this. Global food shortages and soaring food prices are approaching— increased US supply is vital The Great Drought of 2012 has yet to come to an end, but we Illegal entry is a major means through which Food prices have declined, but it’s dangerously near the critical threshold— exceeding it precipitates massive social unrest.

1AC Grapevine Round 2Tournament: Grapevine | Round: 2 | Opponent: Trinity Valley TD | Judge: Bonnie Gerard Plan: The United States federal government should initiate a bilateral agriculture guest worker program with Mexico. 1AC Food Contention 1 is Food Farm labor shortages coming now— aging workforce and failure of the E-Verify system— guest workers solve confidence and labor certainty In California's Central Valley, nurseryman David Cox says he sees young Americans stacking his AND, global food shortages and soaring food prices are approaching— increased US supply is vital The Great Drought of 2012 has yet to come to an end, but we Illegal entry is a major means through which low-skilled foreign workers join Food prices have declined, but it’s dangerously near the critical threshold— exceeding it precipitates massive social unrest.

When Mechanization causes unsustainable industrialization and kills small farms Until recently, the specialization, standardization, and consolidation of farming had been driven Small farms prevent extinction The Via Campesina has long argued that farmers need land to produce food for their Resource and environmental constraints make industrial agriculture unsustainable – a transition to sustainable farms resolves this and prevents soil erosion The food crisis of 2008 gave a first glimpse of the problems that are Soil erosion threatens extinction. Our soil resource is vital to the survival of the human race. Not only Water shortages are destroying crop production now— a shift to organic agriculture solves groundwater depletion. The world is fast running out of water after decades of unsustainable over-pumping Groundwater depletion empirically collapses civilization. Agrochemicals destroy earthworms which collapses civilization. Only where you find earthworms will you find rich, healthy soil with high amounts of organic matter and vice versa. The rest of the world will follow the US’ lead Indicts of organic agriculture are flawed and biased – the most qualified and comprehensive studies show that organic agriculture creates higher yields Two usual objections are levelled against the proposal that organic agriculture can feed the world 1AC Solvency Contention 3 is Solvency Mexico would say yes and cooperation is key to ensure enforcement With this many people emigrating annually, Mexican officials have been studying the effects of A bilateral agreement is critical to agriculture productivity, cooperation, and relations.
