Food touches many aspects of life from essential sustenance needed to survive, to cultural development, expressions of creativity, celebration, connection with nature and so much more. In the United States, we currently obtain most of our food through large-scale industrial production which has become capital, land and fossil fuel intensive resulting in our food production being a major contributor to climate change. Conventional farming practices including the use of heavy pesticides, intense tilling and excessive use of antibiotics and hormones in animals have resulted in soil erosion, water pollution, and poor human and animal health.
