“Producing food is a gastronomical art.”
To be a source of pleasure, food must be good, but also clean and right: it must be the result of sustainable agriculture, which respects the environment and the dignity of workers. When we buy food we also choose an agricultural model. It is a fundamental question that determines the future of the planet: its survival or its destruction.”

Wendell Berry.
