The Broken Food System: A Call for Action Our food system is undeniably broken. Despite increasing awareness, we find ourselves facing dire challenges that threaten both our planet and our health. Over 80% of all arable land is dedicated to producing animal feed and oils, an allocation that starkly highlights the inefficiencies and unsustainability of our current practices. Simultaneously, we waste enough food to feed the entire African continent, showcasing a glaring contradiction in resource distribution. Biodiversity, both on land and in our oceans, is being depleted at an alarming rate, a consequence of industrial agricultural practices and overfishing. Coupled with this, rising global temperatures exacerbate environmental degradation, further threatening food security. Malnutrition, surprisingly the leading cause of death not just in the global south but also increasingly in the global north, underscores the paradox of our food system: abundance marred by poor nutrition. Central to many of these challenges is animal production. Last week's panel discussion underscored the urgent need for a more sustainable food system, focusing on the concept of a complementary protein shift. This shift emphasizes diversifying our protein sources beyond animal products to include plant-based and cultivated alternatives. The solutions exist, yet progress is hindered by polarization and political interests. A recent example is Italy’s ban on cultivated meat, driven by misinformation and special interest groups. This ban stifles innovation and the potential for more sustainable food options. Despite these obstacles, there are promising developments. Plant-based fish and other innovative protein sources present viable solutions for today and tomorrow. Our goal must be to extend this conversation beyond niche circles and engage the broader public. True collaboration and a profound shift in thinking are imperative if we genuinely want to create a positive impact for the future. In conclusion, the path to a sustainable food system is fraught with challenges but also ripe with opportunities. By embracing innovation and fostering collaboration, we can rebuild our food system into one that nourishes both people and the planet.

Was just reading the foreword by Doug Tallamy...WOW! Here's a small sample... “Every once in a while, a book comes along that meets an important need most people don’t know they have. Sarah Jayne’s Nature’s Action Guide is such a book. Sarah could have called her book Conservation for Dummies—not that she wrote it for true dummies, but because she has identified a subject everyone needs to know but almost no one was ever taught: how to share our spaces with the natural world.” … “Sarah wrote Nature’s Action Guide as a complement to my book Nature’s Best Hope. My last chapter suggested 10 things homeowners could/should do to help share their property with nature. After reading my book, Sarah set about trying to enact each of these suggestions in her own yard but quickly realized that, even as an experienced gardener, she didn’t know enough to be successful. And if she didn’t know enough, many other budding conservationists were likely to struggle as well. Sarah’s solution was to write Nature’s Action Guide, a step-by-step, easy to use manual that explains how each of us, regardless of our background or gardening experience, can accomplish all of the goals I propose in Nature’s Best Hope, as well as several I only hinted at! Restoration biology is a relatively young scientific discipline a few decades old. Practicing restoration in human-dominated landscapes, in comparison, is in its infancy and we are still learning what works and what doesn’t work. One of its many distinguishing features is that Nature’s Action Guide is current, explaining state-of-the-art conservation in suburbia with the most up-to-date best-practices available. Even a half-hearted attempt to follow Sarah’s action items is guaranteed to improve the biodiversity potential of your landscape and thus the productivity of your local ecosystem. For this, we all owe Sarah Jayne our heartfelt thanks and gratitude—because, whether we appreciate it or not, we all depend on those same ecosystems.” Douglas W. Tallamy

What are you grateful for today? Are you recognising the good in your life? Are you held back by past experiences, hindering your present experience and preventing you from taking the actions needed to change your life? Muscle and bone mass typically start to decline around age 30. On average, muscle mass decreases by 3-8% per decade, while bone density drops by about 1-2% per year after reaching peak bone mass around age 30. Be grateful for what you have before it becomes what you had with regulare exercising, especially weight training, or weight-bearing activities, along with a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D (to support healthy bones and joints) can help slow down this decline 💪 Today I'm grateful for buttery hips 🧈🤸♀️ Comment below what you are grateful for? And if you're ready to make a positive change in your life and preserve muscle and bone mass for as long as possible, just send me a DM 📬

I am deeply grateful to all my customers, especially those who take the time to share how Rock & Herb products have positively impacted their lives. Whether helping them through their "darkest period" or supporting their children’s skin health, knowing that our products make a difference is incredibly meaningful and rewarding. Our products have undergone some noticeable changes as we work to improve active effectiveness and stability. Critical to achieving this is to do so with fewer additives, preservatives and questionable UV filters. At first, it may seem contradictory—how can we enhance both effectiveness and stability without increasing additives, preservatives and such chemical filters? But somehow we must. I’ve seen first hand the potential reactions these ingredients can trigger in some individuals. While they may not cause immediate effects for the majority, I believe there could be longer-term side effects, like increased skin sensitivity and aging, that occur so gradually they go unnoticed. To put it simply, some additives in cosmetics are like salt and sugar in food: they enhance the experience, but in the long run, they may not be the best for our blood pressure and waistline; our health. I hope my customers will continue to stay with me as we evolve because the work is hard but eventually they will see its rewards.

May this Bakrid Eid bring peace, happiness, and prosperity to your life.
