All humans need food to survive. We have two choices in obtaining our food: Buy it from others or produce it ourselves. For most of human history, people had to search out their food. Around 10,000 years ago, humans figured out how to deliberately grow their own food. In the modern world, most people buy their food. With greater separation between growing food and consuming it, humans are less aware of the connections between their food choices and impacts on the physical environment. People may also be less aware of the connections between their food choices and the businesses that grow and distribute the food
