A few major elements of sustainable farming are biodiversity, conservation, Welfare, and Economics. Within these there are many ecological principles interwoven. For example, diversity within an ecosystem assures and strengthens resilience. Animal welfare, for healthy strong animals. We must keep in mind that life as we know it goes though cycles and we need to conserve and preserve our natural world for future generation and life cycles. We can not destroy and pollute or resources or else it will surely destroy life as we know it.
I myself do choose to eat organic and natural food, Not always, but when the price is right and i can afford it. It may just be the way it is marketed, but it has been engraved into my mind that it is at least somewhat more healthy then the processed shit we eat everyday and find in our traditional supermarkets.
I do feel disconnect from out current food system, more and more everyday, i find it hard to find foods i want to eat, doesn't mean i refuse to eat them, ive grown to enjoy the taste of most of them. Everything feels so fake and processed. Which is probably because it is. If there was space on campus i would definably grow my own vegetables. The reward of eating food, that i know how it was made, where it came from and what was put in it would be priceless.
