Bankruptcy in models of health, environmental degradation, food systems outside the common cultural roots with psychosocial disorders, an agribusiness increasingly intertwined in the interests of few companies in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, GM, seas fisheries destroyed, massive loss of biodiversity edible food transport massive intensive production systems that contribute to the emission of greenhouse gases, bottled water makes a good natural booming market for large companies in beverages, baked goods trans fat for a child while people cut Asian forests to place a palm oil.

These are some of the patterns of a food model that is challenged by increasingly numerous sectors of society. And even some institutions are beginning to worry and question that eating a low price ends up being less cost in real terms.

    Well, for me, it?s amazing to see that many people and countries are considering developing a whole system and business through natural and healthy food, which is a lot way better than the bad food we consume all day. So I hope to see more things like this one in other places and reach the entire world.

    You know what I absolutely love? It’s fairs like these that have tons of ideas on DIY (do it yourself) stuff. I found the most amazing little idea for an indoor herb garden on pinterest the other day, consisting of making little tiny mason jars into pot holders. I can’t wait to do it in my own kitchen!!
