What if food is much more than fuel?

For a long time, nutrition was largely viewed through the lens of calories, nutrients and energy.

But every meal enters into a complex dialogue with our biology — with our cells, microorganisms, nervous system and immune system.

And food carries something else with it: the environment it came from.

Soil. Sunlight. Season. Growing conditions.

Nutrition is not simply about what is in our food, but also about the relationships and environments that shaped it.

Food is not just fuel. Food is information.

🌿 More about the fascinating connections between nature, environment and our biology in my book “The Earth Within Us.”

We are nature, too.
