Food means many different things to each of us. It can be easy to develop tunnel vision and forget about the complexity of how food can bring value to our lives. The first step is understanding that a mindset of apathy and dismissal regarding our daily interaction with food is not natural, and, in fact, taught to us through media and advertising. To move forward as a healthy culture, we must regain an appreciation for or build a new relationship with...

In fact, did you know that practically every book of the Old Testament and a few of the New Testament books mention climate change? We have a pattern unfolding and to truly understand, the what and why of it all is, for us to return to...

I pose many questions that I intentionally don't answer. I want you to do that. I want everyone reading this book to think about some of these concepts. This is about concepts for solutions long-term and sustainable. If we want our environment to once again flourish and our agriculture and development sectors to continue growing, we must develop a national water policy and let that guide us into the future.
