RT @AgrarianSharing: @FAO We can go further. All of us are made to live in societies that have a beneficial effect on body, mind and soul. The character of food systems defines whether societies' root, animating, infinitely penetrating patterns, forces and principles are therapeutic or not. #WorldFoodDay

Copy of tweet here: We can have agriculture only within nature, and culture only within agriculture, Wendell Berry says: “At certain points these systems have to conform with one another or destroy one another...You cannot save the land apart from the people, or the people apart from the land.”
6/ 25 years on, Sages now aver that authentic food culture - a truly, functional relationship with what symbiotically nourishes ourselves and our world - defines a primary regenerative pathway coherently and, yes, peacefully addressing the totality of what ails us as a species.

Copy of tweet thread here: Memorial Day Eucharist. @RichardRohrOFM: "Jesus did not say, “Think about this,” “Fight about this,” “Stare at this;” but He said “Eat this!” Sometimes it seems that outsiders can appreciate it more than Christians. A dynamic, interactive event that makes one out of two.” -- Painting on wood. Signage. Food Not Lawns, 2000. First, know food. From food all things are born, by food they live, toward food they move, into food they return. - Upanishads -- "As Gandhi said, “There are so many hungry people in the world that God could only come into the world in the form of food.” God comes to feed us more than just teach us. Lovers understand that.”
