Our Fatally Fractured Food Chain

Waking Times
The term ‘food chain’ refers to the steps that constitute the movement of food from its starting point in the field to its end point on the fork. This incorporates processing and ultimate consumption.
The food chain operates within a dynamic life cycle. One which expresses the inseparable interconnection between soil, plant, animal and man – and ends back in the soil again. So that if any one element of this cycle is poisoned or weakened, the other three elements must also be directly affected.
When working at its optimum equilibrium, this cycle becomes a dynamic wheel of health. Each link in it supporting and reinforcing the other, resulting in enriched and balanced soil fertility and at the other end, genuinely nutritious food. Nature doing the work and the farmer acting in support of nature’s flow.
