Thoughts and Ideas
I use this space to express working ideas, sometimes they will be written in my first language, sarcasm!
It’s a matter of purpose.
If we consider, that above all else, food is a commodity and agriculture is a business. Then our food systems can neither yield environment sustainability nor a healthy diet.
