Nourishing Australia is a non-profit organisation dedicated to informing, educating and inspiring people about nourishing our soils, plants, animals, people, communities and ultimately, our planet.
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.
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 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 information about 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 as set out in 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.
'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'
