Rebel Nutrition. Peak Soil?
Rebel Nutrition is excited to be breaking out on the incredible new platform, Steemit.
Rebel Nutrition is a Canadian based Livestock Nutrition Company that focuses on innovative products and ideas that will contribute to a healthy sustainable food supply into the future.
Our phoenix logo was chosen to represent a renewal of working with nature. In doing so, we can create abundance and produce food that is life giving and healing due to the rich nutrients within.
We identify as Rebels because we search daily to find innovations that can harness the tools that nature offers, to produce healthier plants, grains, and animals. This will provide food that benefits our bodies’ growth and immunity. We want to challenge the current ideas and systems that aren’t adapting and to satisfy our current and future needs. This mission is incredibly complex and involves many steps along the way and we believe there are thousands of positive solutions.
I want to start with a topic that most people never consider. Soil is the root of all living things, the fertility of our soil truly determines our standard of living. Wealth is only created when we produce a tangible product. Soil does nothing but produce wealth, such as food, shelter, and energy. If we focused on our soils and their true capacity, most of what we need could be derived from our soil in a natural, sustainable way. Hemp is a great example of this. Our unbalanced crop production focuses only on yield – quantity, not rich quality. That is compromising the health of the engine that creates true, base wealth and the fuel that keeps us alive.
We hope for everyone to become aware and properly educated on this topic. I will be following this post with some thoughts on organic farming and how it is on the right path. However, organic doesn't mean nutritious and quite often, organic products are lacking more nutrition than conventional products. The plants are free of chemicals, but the plants are often not provided with total nutrient package that they require.
I would like to reference this great article by Monica Nickelsburg from the Idea Factory that gives a great introduction into the state of our soils and where we are today.
