In 1965, 4% of the population had a chronic disease. Today in the US alone, 52% of our children have at least one. Research from around the world suggests that ...environmental factors are the main contributors to this collapse of human health. Over the last 40 years, we have destroyed more than half of all biology on the planet. Chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides have wiped out 97% of agriculture soils on Earth, decimating the biodiversity within nature that’s paramount to our survival. We are being called to understand the importance of biodiversity and its direct impact on the health of our planet and species. By learning to work within a co-creative process with Mother Nature, we can witness richer soils and more abundance of health than ever seen before. Around the world, brands and business leaders are also being called to answer: How is your economic and social decision-making beneficial to the planet and every human life your business and supply chain touches? Brands like Sambazon, Guayakí Yerba Mate, and Dr. Bronner's are at the forefront of this conversation, creating templates of how to work with Mother Nature instead of against her. By building sustainable business models that regenerate our ecosystems and communities, they’re able to create socially responsible practices that reverse climate change and help combat poverty, racism, malnutrition, and inequality. Stay tuned for the premiere of Seeding Change on April 22, 2021 a new film all about the power of conscious commerce. Until then, be a part of the solution and take action. Challenge your concept of business and social consciousness as separate forces and see how they work together in harmony while looking intently at the food and product brands you are supporting. Behind any one product or vegetable there is an origin story worth knowing for your own health..

All of this happened in October! It's not easy but together we keep on making progress for farmed animals.

When a hawk crosses the wrong fing chicken

If only everyone could see this side to cows

I LOVE THIS!!!! They ran to the groceries, they filled up their carts, They emptied the Tops and Price Chopper and Walmart, They panicked and fought and then p...anicked some more, Then they rushed to their homes and they locked all the doors. The food will be gone! The milk eggs and cheese! The yogurt! The apples! The green beans and peas! The stores have run out, now what will we do? They’ll be starving and looting and nothing to do! Then they paused, and they listened a moment or two. And they did hear a sound, rising over the fear, It started out far, then began to grow near. But this sound wasn’t sad, nor was it new, The farms were still doing what farms always do. The food was still coming, though they’d emptied the shelves, The farms kept it coming, though they struggled themselves, Though the cities had forgotten from where their food came, The farms made them food every day, just the same. Through weather and critics and markets that fall, The farms kept on farming in spite of it all. They farmed without thank yous. They farmed without praise. They farmed on the hottest and coldest of days. They’d bought all the food, yet the next day came more, And the people thought of something they hadn’t before. Maybe food, they thought, doesn’t come from a store. Maybe farmers, perhaps, mean a little bit more. Via Krafft Beef Photo credit Greener Pastures Ranching
