Organic Sustainable Farms
Do you think we should start calculating how much energy we get from “wheat” “rice” and “soy”? Could we do better?
How much energy does yucca or macca or quinoa or algarrabina or kiwicha give a person?
How much energy does each plant deplete or give to the land, water, carbon, oxygen, other species, etc?

Do you think we’re destroying the entire earth for crops that don’t really give us any nutrition?
~
Could we have organic sustainable farms all over the world that create healthy nutrition for local communities?
The farms could include (for instance in my local community of Peru):
Kiwicha
Quinoa
Algarrobina
Naranjas
Bananas
Lavender
Roses
Macca
Yucca
Cyperus
Mangos
Peaches
Kale
Broccoli
Carrots
Tomatos
Rosemary
Thyme
Mint
Zucchini

In my research, it’s about complementarity. You can eat meat but gain nothing if you do not pair it with vitamin C, as that is what iron needs. Quinoa and orange juice gives you the complete protein as well.

Also, if you don’t like milk, don’t drink it. Skim milk and 1% are not real. Do not harm a cow if you do not like the milk. Try oat, almond, or coconut.

Additionally, buy organic coffee. Try your best to not buy from corporations that are harming the Amazon Rainforest.

Also, here is the beginning of my economic analysis spreadsheet, but I would love to see yours!
Here is an example of an excel spreadsheet that could be turned into a System Dynamics model. That would take big brain power. Maybe MIT? The free software you can personally use is here at Vensim.
