The Broken Food System: A Call for Action Our food system is undeniably broken. Despite increasing awareness, we find ourselves facing dire challenges that threaten both our planet and our health. Over 80% of all arable land is dedicated to producing animal feed and oils, an allocation that starkly highlights the inefficiencies and unsustainability of our current practices. Simultaneously, we waste enough food to feed the entire African continent, showcasing a glaring contradiction in resource distribution. Biodiversity, both on land and in our oceans, is being depleted at an alarming rate, a consequence of industrial agricultural practices and overfishing. Coupled with this, rising global temperatures exacerbate environmental degradation, further threatening food security. Malnutrition, surprisingly the leading cause of death not just in the global south but also increasingly in the global north, underscores the paradox of our food system: abundance marred by poor nutrition. Central to many of these challenges is animal production. Last week's panel discussion underscored the urgent need for a more sustainable food system, focusing on the concept of a complementary protein shift. This shift emphasizes diversifying our protein sources beyond animal products to include plant-based and cultivated alternatives. The solutions exist, yet progress is hindered by polarization and political interests. A recent example is Italy’s ban on cultivated meat, driven by misinformation and special interest groups. This ban stifles innovation and the potential for more sustainable food options. Despite these obstacles, there are promising developments. Plant-based fish and other innovative protein sources present viable solutions for today and tomorrow. Our goal must be to extend this conversation beyond niche circles and engage the broader public. True collaboration and a profound shift in thinking are imperative if we genuinely want to create a positive impact for the future. In conclusion, the path to a sustainable food system is fraught with challenges but also ripe with opportunities. By embracing innovation and fostering collaboration, we can rebuild our food system into one that nourishes both people and the planet.

Today we would like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to our third official NARD 14 sponsor, Climate Healers! Climate Healers is a non-profit dedicated towards healing the Earth's climate, leveraging decades of systems engineering expertise in order to devise practical solutions. Climate Healers primarily focuses on the main driver of climate change that is more powerful than all other drivers combined: animal agriculture. Conveniently, it is by far the easiest, quickest and least expensive one to address. People everywhere could just go vegan, making it possible to get climate change under control at the end of our forks. This necessitates transforming our socioeconomic system into one organized around restoring the biodiversity of the planet, while creating a more peaceful and just world.

Was just reading the foreword by Doug Tallamy...WOW! Here's a small sample... “Every once in a while, a book comes along that meets an important need most people don’t know they have. Sarah Jayne’s Nature’s Action Guide is such a book. Sarah could have called her book Conservation for Dummies—not that she wrote it for true dummies, but because she has identified a subject everyone needs to know but almost no one was ever taught: how to share our spaces with the natural world.” … “Sarah wrote Nature’s Action Guide as a complement to my book Nature’s Best Hope. My last chapter suggested 10 things homeowners could/should do to help share their property with nature. After reading my book, Sarah set about trying to enact each of these suggestions in her own yard but quickly realized that, even as an experienced gardener, she didn’t know enough to be successful. And if she didn’t know enough, many other budding conservationists were likely to struggle as well. Sarah’s solution was to write Nature’s Action Guide, a step-by-step, easy to use manual that explains how each of us, regardless of our background or gardening experience, can accomplish all of the goals I propose in Nature’s Best Hope, as well as several I only hinted at! Restoration biology is a relatively young scientific discipline a few decades old. Practicing restoration in human-dominated landscapes, in comparison, is in its infancy and we are still learning what works and what doesn’t work. One of its many distinguishing features is that Nature’s Action Guide is current, explaining state-of-the-art conservation in suburbia with the most up-to-date best-practices available. Even a half-hearted attempt to follow Sarah’s action items is guaranteed to improve the biodiversity potential of your landscape and thus the productivity of your local ecosystem. For this, we all owe Sarah Jayne our heartfelt thanks and gratitude—because, whether we appreciate it or not, we all depend on those same ecosystems.” Douglas W. Tallamy

If it's good enough for Boeing it's good enough for your small business! ?? I'm talking about checklists. ?? The simple yet smart way to avoid mistakes in business. Allowing you to catch errors before they happen. ?? Checklists became essential for pilots after a tragic accident in 1935, when a new Boeing bomber crashed due to pilot error. The complexity of modern aircraft had surpassed what could be managed from memory alone. In response, Boeing introduced the first pilot checklist to ensure all critical steps were completed before takeoff, during flight, and before landing. This simple tool transformed aviation safety, reducing human error and increasing reliability. ?? Today, checklists are a standard practice in aviation, helping pilots navigate complex procedures with confidence and precision, ultimately saving lives and ensuring safe flights. Checklists in your day to day life might not save lives they can certainly save time, money & headaches! ?? And the best part… they're super simple to create. Next time you complete a repeatable task, create a checklist. Your future self, and your team, will thank you! ??
