Is the Paleo Diet Sustainable? In the study of agricultural sustainability and eco-restoration, I have used the Paleolithic Era as a baseline to compare all other agricultural systems to. This is because 15,000 years ago while humans were hunter-gatherers, the vast majority of ecosystems were functioning properly in the illustrious closed-loop nutrient cycle, food distribution was equitable, plants were efficiently running the carbon cycle, animals aptly did their job of maintaining the health of their prospective ecosystems, and the health of the soil was excellent. Gleaning information from the Paleolithic Era is a great place to learn about sustainability from, not because it tells us what might work, but what has worked. This is a well-written piece and worth the read! Link: bit.ly/1moY78v
