For so, so many reasons it’s important to ask the question, ‘how has my food been farmed’; understanding our contribution to food miles, supporting farmers doing the right thing in regards to landcare, supporting local businesses and farmer’s markets, buying meat that has had a good life and a good death, etc, but perhaps the most important aspect is the understanding of exactly what we’re talking about when we talk about food. This is what we choose to sustain ourselves with, grow our children with; knowing that food is so much more than something we pull off a supermarket shelf, and understanding the power our choices have on diversity and health, our own wellbeing and that of all those who make up the links in the chain of food production.
