Everybody needs food to survive. While the agricultural revolution has tremendously helped the world to solve hunger issues and sustain the current world population, it has also changed our concepts towards food. I’ve always heard a joke about how “kids nowadays don’t know that watermelons are green not red”, as an insult to how children are spoiled. However, industrial agriculture has distanced the relationship between the food we eat and where they are coming from. Most people, will not give it a thought when seeing a piece of meat at the supermarket that it actually comes from an animal. And even fewer people understand the environmental impacts that the agricultural system has contributed. I believe in the importance of understanding and acknowledging the environmental impacts of our foods, so as to be conscious about our choices in consideration of the environment, as well as to mend the divide between us and the food that keeps us healthy.
