Paradigm Change
Sometimes the best route is "back to the future."
Modern Agriculture fell prey to the ideas of industrialization following World War II. The discovery that petroleum based fertilizers would stimulate plant growth and the mechanization of labors that were previously all done by a local work force allowed consumers to enjoy a boom in fruits and vegetables.
The raising of meats and poultry on a mass scale kept prices lower than they would have been in the regular inflation cycles. However, these perceived benefits carried several hidden costs.
The food produced had far less nutrients. The taste was bland. The pollution costs to the water table and surrounding community health were ignored.
The processing done by major food corporations turned regular food into "Franken-food" that did not resemble its previous state and turned on consumers with a vengeance.
Researchers are only now discovering that the epidemics of heart disease and obesity are rooted in the low quality foods available in most mass food outlets.
We believe that a return to sustainable agriculture from local farmers passionate about their food and their farms can help to restore the health our ancestors enjoyed.
