From Garden to Table - and why it matters
This picture was taken when my kids and I started our seedlings to contribute to our Urban Gardening efforts.
BTW, the basil is sprouting like crazy!
But why do I wholeheartedly believe in growing and eating your own foods or purchasing local food? Here is why:
As per Zach Bush, who is such an inspiration to this world:
-> in 1880, 50% of Amerians were farming,
in 2002 it's less than 2% (I just heard a report that states that most of the food, that is consumed in the States has to be imported 😵)
-> in 1945, Americans grew 45% of their in their backyards, now we grow 0.1% of our food in our backyards
-> we created an era of chemical mega farms that has led to the DESTRUCTION of our soils, water systems and human health
Zach Bush says it so perfectly: "By learning to work in a co-creative process with mother nature and her extraordinary variety of species, farmers and consumers will participate to witness richer soils and more abundance of life and health than has been seen in human history"
Chronic disease, allergies, food sensitivites, gut issues, hormonbal imbalances - all of those issues are on the rise and are expected to increase to 57% by the end of 2020.
Creating an extraordinary pressure on our health care system. It's time to get our hands dirty and start growing food again. Who is with me? Comment below, if you are growing anything in your own garden, containers or pots.
