"When we follow our traditional diets, we’re healthier people. Our immune systems can stand up to the seasons. One hundred years ago, diabetes and heart disease were nonexistent in our communities . . . Preventable diseases rise when we don’t have access to traditional foods” (as quoted in Hoover, 2019, p. 64). Somehow I don't think this only applies to indigenous peoples...

Vertical farming is a paradigm shift approaching food security in a rapidly urbanizing world. Our proposed food security research center in the Philippines furthers this innovation by integrating resource efficiency, advanced hydroponics, and climate-responsive design into one cohesive system. This tower symbolizes the potential for cities to produce food sustainably without relying on expansive agricultural land. This design also challenges us to rethink urban resilience and how architecture can lead the conversation on solving global challenges. By combining smart systems with purposeful architecture, we aim to bring agriculture back into the city's heart. How can such designs influence policymaking and urban strategies in the future?

This is not to ignore some of the incredible medical advances we’ve made like gene therapy or gene editing technologies to address genetic illnesses, wearable technology devices (eg. diabetics), and stem cell medicine. This is medicine I can stand behind. This is medicine used right.

I respect anyone in the medical field that see the gap I speak of, and are doing what they can (despite their hands being tied) because they genuinely care about people.

My concern is with the common practice of treating patients solely with medicine with little to no regard for nutrition, which is THE primary medicine. This gap is reflected in medical schools, in our food system, the American diet, and in our health.

If we are to ever see improvement we need to take back control of our own health, vote better with our dollars, demand better of our leaders, and close the gap. Nothing will change until we do.

We deserve so much better.

Things were this cheap because of big companies screwing over people elsewhere and the planet everywhere, and then shipping the goods wherever one's Here was.

Fuel is more expensive because there's increasingly less of it (and rich people are using that as opportunity to gouge folks);

there are less workers alive because of covid and thus less workers cornered enough to be exploited - including in the shipping industry, which then gets called "supply chain issues" - (and rich people are using that as opportunity to gouge folks);

foodsystems based on monocropping annuals has led to soil degradation, genetic collapse, pollinator death, and drought, leading to diminishing returns and resource scarcity (and rich people are using that as opportunity to gouge folks);

human-instigated and human-reinforcex global climactic instability is reaching the Find Out portion of the Fucking Around era, leading to environmental and weather cataclysms (and rich people are using that as opportunity to gouge folks);

and finally (off the top of my head at least), neo-imperial suppression of labor rights, civil rights, human rights, and economic necessities have led to an incredibly inefficient economic system to have dominated the planet, one dependent on a mythical condition - infinite growth and corporate ethics - to perpetuate itself, and its natural implosion has been held back by drones, nukes, RPGs, fighter jets, aircraft carriers, LRADs, and tear gas, and soon Boston Dynamic dog turrets (and rich people are using that as opportunity to gouge folks).

And because of this, the Dollar Menu was a cookie for being well behaved, one with a very short shelf life.

What will we make each other to replace it?

idk how anyone can look at how expensive fast food has gotten and think we're doing okay

The Importance of Soil Health in Agroecology And Sustainable Food Systems

In the realm of agroecology and sustainable food systems, one element reigns supreme: soil health. Often overlooked but critically important, the health of our soil directly impacts the quality of our food, the resilience of our ecosystems, and the sustainability of our agricultural practices. Let's delve into why soil health is so vital and how prioritizing it can pave the way for a more sustainable future.

Understanding Soil Health:

At its core, soil health refers to the capacity of soil to sustain plant growth and maintain ecosystem balance. Healthy soil is teeming with life, from microorganisms to earthworms, all working together to break down organic matter, cycle nutrients, and improve soil structure. It's a complex, dynamic system that forms the foundation of our food production systems.

The Importance of Soil Health in Agroecology:

Agroecology, a holistic approach to agriculture, emphasizes the interdependence of ecological, social, and economic factors in food production. Central to this approach is the recognition that healthy soil is essential for sustainable farming practices. By nurturing soil health, agroecological farmers can enhance crop resilience, reduce the need for external inputs like fertilizers and pesticides, and promote biodiversity on their farms.

Sustainable Food Systems:

In the context of sustainable food systems, soil health plays a pivotal role in ensuring food security, environmental sustainability, and social equity. Healthy soils are more resilient to climate change, able to retain water during droughts and mitigate erosion during heavy rains. Moreover, by improving soil fertility and nutrient cycling, farmers can produce nutritious food without depleting natural resources or harming the environment.

Practices for Enhancing Soil Health:

There are various practices that farmers can adopt to enhance soil health and promote sustainable food systems. These include crop rotation, cover cropping, no-till farming, agroforestry, and composting. By diversifying cropping systems, minimizing soil disturbance, and integrating trees into agricultural landscapes, farmers can improve soil structure, increase organic matter content, and boost soil biodiversity.

The Role of Education and Awareness:

While the importance of soil health is widely recognized among scientists and agricultural experts, there's a need to raise awareness among farmers, policymakers, and consumers. Education and extension programs can play a crucial role in disseminating information about soil health management practices and promoting their adoption at the grassroots level. By investing in farmer training, soil conservation initiatives, and public outreach campaigns, we can empower stakeholders to become stewards of the soil.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, soil health is the cornerstone of agroecology and sustainable food systems. By nurturing healthy soils, we can cultivate resilient farms, thriving ecosystems, and nourishing food for generations to come. As we strive to build a more sustainable future, let's remember that it all starts with the soil.
