The huge amount of food waste that goes to landfill in this country is not only amoral, but it is one of the top contributors to climate change. That and livestock feeding operations (factory farming) because of the condensed impact.

It only makes sense that nature is biting back, literally, to try and thwart humanity’s degradation towards our biosphere. Human growth and longevity (8.1 billion on this planet) cannot sustain this level of abuse without allowing more regenerative practices and systems. Something has to change.
