Food, foraging and agriculture for the future. May 5, 2014. What is a Sustainavore? I was recently asked to define my definition of “Sustainavore” by Today’s Green Minute. Before we get into the details, being open to other food philosophies is essential. Not discounting or dismissing others’ food philosophies helps us understand what motivates people to eat the way they do. We can also get ideas to integrate into our own food choices by exploring other food philosophies. Vegetables, Fruit and Grains:.

Food, foraging and agriculture for the future. June 9, 2014. Don’t Throw that Dollar Bill into the Garbage (Food Waste). The average family of four could save over $1,600 a year. By sending less food into the garbage. That’s $30.77 an average family throws out per week, or $4.40 per day. The most common ways food is throw out at home are:. Leftovers from home-cooked meals. Leftovers from take-out or restaurant. Spoiled food from misestimating quantities needed or poor storage. How did I come up with that?

Poetry: Death’s Life – Seann Sweeney
https://seannsweeney.com/2014/04/28/poetry-deaths-life/comment-page-1
Food, foraging and agriculture for the future. April 28, 2014. Poetry: Death’s Life. Death to old patterns, not serving me and us. The soul is witnessing death, birth and life. Death to old ways, of thinking, ways that are not the way. Death to thinking for only a moment, is life. Death of old self at every moment. Death of the stagnant blue flame. Breathe out death, breathe in life. Belly and lungs are a universe. Growing out of what what I once was. Beautiful egg slime from the cracked shell of the self.

Food, foraging and agriculture for the future. February 22, 2015. New Mexico’s Brillance. Prickly pear flowering like a double spider web. Dry molecules taking what is needed. Abundance of Dead Man’s Curves. Thoughts of crashes, and living. Earth energy lighting up the dark night ground. Pulsing rhythm. This is real. White clouds moving slowly overhead. Mesmerizing Christmas toy. Buffalo skull’s medicine wheel of directions. Fry bread flour on the propane stove. Our winged, ungulate, and scaled teachers.

Food, foraging and agriculture for the future. August 15, 2014. Using the Whole Animal: Buffalo Skull Art. If we are going to take an animal’s life for food, we should honor the sacrifice through using the whole animal. We do this by eating all of the parts of the animal we can, using the hide, fur, bones, and other bits. I paint buffalo skulls for many reasons. One of them is the idea of using the whole animal. Below are some pictures of my most recent painted buffalo skull, titled. Blog at WordPress...

Food, foraging and agriculture for the future. August 25, 2015. The Sustainable Food Movement: Where’s Our Focus? I was once asked why I don’t participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I’ll be there. – Mother Teresa. Do we want to focus more of our time and energy fighting. Are we spending more time fighting for food security or fighting against food insecurity? Ensuring that these two yin and yang energies are balanced will help ...

Food, foraging and agriculture for the future. March 19, 2016. Poetry: Thanks, Mother. Standing sans shoes, socks. Stronger with the pulse again. What kind of bird makes that noise? The winged ones don’t have crazy politicians. Humming buddies should return again soon. Honeysuckle shows its first growth. This cup of yerba mate. From far south of Texas. Steeped with cozy valley water. That nine point loss we watched yesterday. The dreaded final buzzer to end the season. Seems less important today. I was o...
