Do you know what your foods impact on the ecosystem it comes from is?

The food we eat always has an impact on the ecosystem, some of them are positive but most are negative.

All animals can have a positive role to play in an ecosystem, even domesticated animals which wouldn’t normally be found in that ecosystem can be managed to mimic the role of other animals, for example herds of cows instead of herds of Aurochs, moving as one trampling and eating vegetation as they go. When animals are allowed to play their role in the ecosystem nature thrives. Pigs allowed to rootle followed by birds scavenging for worms, the soil they disturb allows space for a variety of plants to establish, the muck they leave behind to be colonised by invertebrates and the nutrients within recycled back into the soil.

Does your food have a positive impact? If you wish the food you eat to have had a positive impact on an ecosystem always ask yourself how it has been reared and where it is from.
