Nourishing
Australia is a non-profit organisation dedicated to informing, educating
and inspiring people about the critical importance of nourishing our
soils, plants, animals, people, communities and ultimately, our planet.
'Food, our most basic necessity,
has become a force behind a staggering array of social, economic and
environmental epidemics - a toxic cornucopia of poison-laminated
harvests, extreme labour abuse and treacherous and secretive science.
At the reins of the food industry are a few increasingly monopolistic
corporations controlling nearly every aspect of human sustenance. The
way we grow, make, market and eat our food today creates rampant
illness, hunger, poverty, community disintegration and ecological
degradation - and threatens our future food supply. Welcome to what I'd
call Silent Autumn'
Christopher D Cook, Diet for a Dead Plane
The immune systems of both the earth and its inhabitants are intimately related to the soil, water and air. The direct link to human health is unquestionable.
We will bring together information and articles about a wide range of food, farming, environmental and community issues and link to supportive and like minded groups and organisations - many of whom are making a great difference but are not necessarily known to each other. By creating a broad coalition we can make a powerful difference.
The most important underlying factor is nourishing our soils. To repair the damage of the devastating effects of industrial agriculture, we need to go way beyond sustainable practices. We need to raise awareness of and promote regenerative agriculture.
We will emphasise the importance of caring about the quality of our food, where it comes from, how it is produced and the farmers who produce it. Consumers need to create a demand for clean, nourishing nutrient-dense foods and farmers need to be be rewarded for producing them. Real food quality can and should be based on measurable outcomes.
We will also present cutting-edge and somewhat politically-incorrect nutritional information including the role of cholesterol in the body. The fear of saturated fat and cholesterol underpins most nutritional and medical advice. It makes people afraid of many nourishing foods and encourages them to eat many of the foods which may cause the very problems they are trying to avoid.
Our Traditional Foods Network is a campaign of Nourishing Australia.
It will educate about the health benefits of traditional foods as opposed to modern, refined, processed foods and will promote the wonderful work of Dr Weston A Price which has been preserved and disseminated by the Price Pottenger Nutrition Foundation who publish his book ' Nutrition and Physical Degeneration'.
There will be a directory of real food sources and local contacts around Australia to link consumers with suppliers including local farmers.
Our website is being developed at the moment and more content will be live soon. Please bear with us.
