Observation No. 14 - Natue Is Always Giving Feedback

Nature Is Always Giving Feedback | Observation No. 14

For about two years, I watched a farm near Katy, Texas, change after we stopped using chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides.

And something interesting happened.

We were no longer having insect-pest problems.

Later, the conditions changed.

Fertilizer was applied.

An armyworm outbreak appeared.

Insecticide was applied.

The armyworms died.

It looked like the problem had been solved.

But about a month later...

they came back.

And this time, the outbreak was larger.

Why?

That question is far more valuable than a quick explanation.

Because perhaps an outcome we don't want isn't only a problem to be corrected.

Perhaps it is also information.

In this Observation, we explore what happens when we stop looking only at symptoms and begin asking:

What is the system trying to tell us?
