Let’s reconnect before it’s too late
For many of us, the political, economic and social systems that surround us are less stable than they’ve been in living memory. Not only that, the destruction of our soils and terrestrial habitats caused by industrial farming and human activity, as well as the over-fishing and pollution of waterways and oceans, is contributing to a spiralling loss of biodiversity and an environmental crisis of almost unimaginable proportions. These existential sources of instability and uncertainty are creating a persistent level of negative stress for which our bodies were not designed. But what should we do? Do we seek technological fixes and disconnect further from nature, in the hope that nature can regenerate on its own, left to its own devices? Or do we reconnect much more profoundly with our natural environment and learn how to live more harmoniously with the natural systems from which we evolved? These are the big questions we need to ask ourselves especially as it’s becoming ever more clear that most political systems are either unclear about which course to take, or, they’re placing their bets (and often our taxes) on biotech fixes while only paying lip service to nature-based fixes. For us, while we see an important role for technology when it works with, rather than counter to natural systems, we believe the real answers will come from deepening, not lessening, our connection with nature. We hope our guest feature, stress article and news stories give you plenty of food for thought. In health, naturally Rob Verkerk Founder, executive & scientific director
