So far we’ve unearthed a mountain of data about the past, present and future of food. The one statistic that remains emblazoned in my memory is Overcapacity Day, a.k.a. the day in the year when we’ve used all the biological resources that the earth regenerates in a year. In 2022, this day was July 20th. (That’s the 201st day, or 55% into the year)
When discussing food, it’s impossible to separate what we eat and grow from the environment – in a sense, food is the environment. We, humans, are the environment. We are all nature.
