School of Food

Food, glorious food! Our planet is bursting with plants, the animals that eat those plants, and the predators that hunt the plant-eaters. Some creatures feast with ease and others work tirelessly for every bite.

From day one, it’s a steep and ever-changing learning curve through life, across seasons, and in a shifting world. Humans are surprisingly fussy, despite our wide-ranging menus. Supermarkets make it easy to forget that all food comes from nature. Crops rely on rich soil, which feeds livestock. Pollinators are essential, without them fruits, seeds, and future plants wouldn’t grow. If we keep damaging the biodiversity that supports it all, more meals may vanish, and we too may return to the school of food. Whatever your tastes or dietary preferences, grab your cutlery and get ready to dig in. Welcome to the school of food.
