Julian Baggini explores the intricate connections of food systems in his insights derived from his book 'How the World Eats: A Global Food Philosophy.' He argues that the debates surrounding food production, such as the divide between organic and non-organic farming, are often oversimplified. In reality, many farms operate in a grey area, blurring the lines of organic certification. Baggini advocates for a less polarized discourse that could unite people for the common good, encouraging a holistic understanding of food’s impact on health, economy, and the environment.
"Debate about food and farming is too polarized. Beneath the dichotomous rhetoric, the world is not nearly as divided as it seems... The difference between organic and non-organic agriculture is blurry."
"Some farms are in effect organic but can’t say they are because they don’t pay for certification. Nor can we separate them based on which use fertilizers and pesticides and which don't."
