The claim: Descriptors like “Local”, “Sustainable” and “Certified Organic” have their limitations. They are not guaranteed to be more nutritious or better for the planet. For example we have built an entire movement on a word that by definition is fictitious: Sustainable. Nowhere in nature does “sustainable” exist. Everything in this world is either growing or declining. We are either depleting the soil or building it, and in terms of our health it is either declining or improving right? I prefer to think in terms of ecologically sound systems, or ones that strive for the ideal of building and creating diversity and viability, while at the same time having a healthy perspective that there is no perfect system developed by man. The Best way to ensure you are getting the most nutrient dense, life giving foods and promoting ecologically sound agriculture is to educate ourselves and in large part this begins with knowing our local farmers. robbwolf/2014/01/24/eating-close-home-saving-grace/
