The world's food production and distribution system is in dire need of change. We must leave behind a system which propagates unhealthy farming practices and disconnects us from nature. We must depart from the practices that result in an enormous amount of synthetic chemical pollution and waste from excessive packaging and reduce the significant distances our food travels to get from the farm to our plates. These wasteful practices are responsible for the continuing degradation of our health and that of our environment.

What this must be replaced with is a thriving bio-regional and local organic food system, one that reflects the beauty of nature and is mindful of the need for regeneration of the soil which, if fertile, will produce quality nutrient-dense foods for generations.
