Top 6 Reasons to Support Regenerative Agriculture
Most growing environmental and health problems can be traced back to modern food production, including malnutrition, promotion of foodborne illnesses and drug-resistant bacterial infections, diminishing water supplies, and air, soil and water pollution .
Chicken was
responsible for the most outbreak-associated illnesses — 3,114 cases in all
(12%), followed by pork and seeded vegetables, each responsible for 10% of
illnesses.
Food testing through the years has shown that chicken is
particularly prone to contamination with dangerous pathogens, including
antibiotic-resistant bacteria &
toxins.
Raw chicken has become a notorious carrier of salmonella,
campylobacter, clostridium perfringens and listeria bacteria. Salmonella
contamination is of particular concern, as multidrug-resistant salmonella has
become prevalent.
According to predictions, 10 million people worldwide will die
from antibiotic-resistant diseases by 2050 lest swift action is taken to curb
resistance — and that necessitates the elimination of unnecessary agricultural
use of antibiotics.

In 2017 to 2018, only 6.8% of U.S. adults had optimal

health if you fall into that metabolically unfit category.
The basics to restoring

Time-restricted eating involves
limiting
your

Combined, these chemicals
are estrogen disrupters, lower sperm count, are known to cause cancer in
