- Summary:
- Prince Edward Island has long been famous for its spuds and red mud. But in the last 50 years since industrialized farming took root, this small, agricultural island has been building a new reputation for having the highest cancer and respiratory illness rates in Canada. Is there a link? Every year, countless tourists are greeted by PEIs warm sandy beaches, quaint seaside villages and, of course, field after field of the islands signature potato crops. Rather than dwelling on PEIs worrisome monocropping practices, Island Green dares to ask: What if PEI went entirely organic?
