Synopsis

Loss of biodiversity, insect deaths and bee deaths scare us. Prosperity diseases are ping around. Many horses are not allowed into the gr today because it makes them sick. For thousands of years, pasture landscapes were a natural basis for living: Europe's ecosystems originally corresponded to those of Africa. As large grazing animals, horses have been part of a species-rich pasture landscape for millions of years. A hundred years ago, basic causes of species extinction in grlands were known. But the diet of the population, which still suffered from the consequences of the First World War, was more important. Alternative possibilities were discarded - although leading hippologists such as Chief Inspector A. Bürger, head of the Prussian Main Stud Thoroughbred Stud Altefeld, already warned at that time that "some epidemic diseases ... may be based on too one-sided nutrition". Monocultures and arable grland are increasing rapidly. The world's most important economic gres can contain poisons under certain circumstances and are then placed on a par with the Jacobs cruciferous herb in their dangerousness. Gr poisons directly reduce biodiversity. The path from wild gr to super gr is short. Diploma biologist Dr. Renate Vanselow shows connections and gives hope. Possible paths into the future are presented. There is not the one, simple solution to all problems, but different solutions and compromises. The book is an urgent appeal to help our environment, our animals, and ourselves by striving to preserve all of our food bases--now.
