Food is important, food is sacred.
How safe and healthful is food today? Chemicals in foods, non-nutritious processed foods, GM foods and chemical agriculture are a threat to human health. The world over, scientists, journalists, writers, educators and others are sounding the alarm bells about the problems about our food which are complex, hidden and slow acting.
Nature’s wisdom has ordained that the food that is good for our health is also good for land, water and air.
We need to take charge of our food and health – and do our bit to reduce carbon emissions. Hence we need to understand the hidden connections as well as learn to take positive steps forward.
