Solutions - Food
Are you willing to make a few changes in your food buying habits to help OurPlanet heal? Yes, technological advances have brought us food security, variety and longevity, not to mention the freedom from backbreaking labour. The problem is that we’ve overdone it…Like in everything, too much of a good thing becomes bad.
According to Compassion in World Farming factory farming has a significant negative impact on the environment across the world, driving deforestation, pushing out habitats, wildlife and biodiversity to make way for industrial agriculture and animal feed. Your food choices – what, and how much you buy – contribute to the solution. To GentleWays, the issue and the solution are not only about our food security, our wellbeing, our health; the concern and the solution are also about the security, health and wellbeing of all life forms. In the long run, the health of our Planet and our health are one!
