Effectively, since empowered to enact freewill on our surrounding, and the correlated adoption of hubris in believing we have control of the systems that contain us \u2013 mankind has been a terrible shepherd. \u00a0It\u2019s becoming evidently clear to those in susceptible areas who\u2019ve been forced to pay attention, and soon for all of us sharing the same interconnected environment, we must do better living within the rules set forth by regenerative systems. If we do not heed the warnings and act proactively, we\u2019ll fall victim to a required recognition that depleting finite resources of planetary boundaries will be expensive if not catastrophic in recovery.<\/p>\n
For the most fundamental human needs of food & water \u2013 the additional costs of mining sea & soil without replenishing systems needed for self-sustaining nutrient cycling in all trophic levels has created a perpetual and non regenerative waste-stream. With no scope nor expectation of repayment of these taxes, we\u2019ve externalized the \u201ctrue costs\u201d of cheap food & water that will incrementally lessen the vitality of the whole system the longer we maintain an addiction.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Truth is, by not accounting for the true costs of externalities in the staples we\u2019ve grown accustom \u2013 food, water & energy \u2013 we\u2019re bending the resilience of the ecological & planetary boundaries keeping the whole system afloat. As a universal truth in rectifying these impacts \u2013 consumers must become more immersed in the facts. With greatest potential to be most intimate to us all, the provenance of food is a most logical place to begin. The affect of what actually reaches your dinner table is far greater than just the resulting personal gain or satisfaction. \u00a0Modern production does not account for waste, environmental impact nor ecological footprint \u2013 that\u2019s our actuality, but not accountability! \u00a0We\u2019ve flattened a circular process into a frozen rope, and our abundance of resources had yet to force concern. \u00a0But, increasingly costly with health, wellbeing, stability and monetary expense the longer we wait \u2013 we\u2019ll soon be forced to embrace change.<\/p>\n
