Every morsel of food is a gift from this planet. What might I do to remember or honor this gift?

In our agriculture classes we would learn about trends in farming. The small family farms are making a comeback but in a new way, the middle sized farms are struggling financially and disappearing, bought out by mega big farms, which are very impersonal, and rarely sustainable. The mega farms typically overuse chemical fertilizers and herbicides, and conduct mono-cropping, particularly corn and soy which turn up in processed foods. In meat products this equates to stock yards and cramped factory-like conditions for animals. The mega farms have very low employment for production, relying instead on machinery, and there is almost never a family, but instead an office administration for a corporation. The smaller farms are much less efficient but have a high yield for the land, are vastly more biodiverse, and owners are very tied in to their farm being sustainable. It is personal. There are academics currently studying how mega farms might transition to sustainability, because it is critically needed for climate neutrality. I enjoyed your observations, Mary Pat. It reminded me of many things and inspired me.
