In Growing Places this week, we continue the conversation with Wen-Jay Ying, CEO & Founder of Local Roots.
Wen-Jay shares her perspective on why eating localling is so important to both the health of our planet, and our own health. Did you know that the UN predicts that at current rates our soil will be so depleted of minerals and nutrients that we won’t be able to farm on it any more?
Eating locally forces us to diversify the nutrients that are coming into our body, which is great for our health.
CSA farms generally rotate their crops and grow different vegetables on the land year to year, which has tremendous biological benefits too.
Have you ever wondered why food in other countries tastes better? Wen Jay explains why eating locally and seasonally has a lot to do with that.
We finish this conversation by looking at The Future Of Food and how we can build a better food system.
