This article explores the relationship between soil ecology, food systems, and organic waste, highlighting the often overlooked interconnectedness of these factors. It discusses the changes in food production and consumption that have led to the prevalence of processed foods and the associated rise in obesity and cardiometabolic diseases. The article also addresses the environmental implications of modern agriculture, such as soil depletion and reduced biodiversity, as well as the impact of organic waste and greenhouse gas emissions on climate change. Possible solutions are proposed, including sustainable agricultural practices, recycling organic waste through composting and biochar production, and shifting dietary habits towards a greater focus on produce. The importance of accessibility and affordability of nutrient-rich foods is emphasized, along with the potential benefits of community gardens, urban farms, and food forests. The text emphasizes the need for collective efforts to change our approach to food in order to improve our health and the health of the planet. It highlights the importance of viewing food systems as interconnected networks and suggests that healing the soil can lead to better nutritional quality in our food, increased agricultural yields, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The text also mentions the decline in the nutritional quality of foods and the potential benefits of practices such as crop rotation, no-till farming, and biochar application. It discusses the environmental impacts of food waste and the potential benefits of programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and produce prescriptions in improving access to healthy food. Additionally, it mentions the positive effects of community gardens on diet, health, and [Extracted from the article] |
