We have immense power to create positive change by making smart food choices.
Rows and rows of organic vegetables; almost any kind of vegetable you can think of, planted by local famers for local consumption. As we tour Glen Valley Organic Farm, the source of our fresh produce throughout trip, I am reminded of the discussions we have been having over the past couple of weeks—food security, plant based diets, eating in season and eating locally to name a few.
Our local food markets are abundant with a variety of fresh fruit year round, which makes it easy to forget that these fruits are a product of the land, quite often in another part of the world. When you consider all of the resources it takes to transport these foreign fruits around the world, one can only begin to imagine the impact it has on the environment.
Eat local, eat in season, and eat lower on the food chain… food for thought.
We as individuals have immense power to create positive change by making smart food choices. Hopefully as we head into the future, we can regain the sense of agricultural basics of past generations; something that is apparently vanishing from our culture.
