Hi there and welcome to the weMove podcast.
This episode revisits our farming series ran a few months ago as since then Chris has been documenting in film the farmers and the relationships the farmers have with the land and most importantly the animals on the land.
This podcast directly accompanies Chris’s film The Dairy Farmer, hearing how Sophie Gregory became a dairy farmer, her relationship with farming as a business and it’s direct connection to the health of humans.
There are many levels to the phrase “we are what we eat”, but we literally are because what we eat, becomes our flesh and blood. It nourishes us with it’s nutrition for good and bad (in direct correlation with the lifestyle the animal/crop has led, think pasture raised cattle who live on the land versus antibiotic filled, synthetic food eating cattle, kept in conditions less than optimal for their health, let alone ours)
Eating well is the same process for the food that feeds us, and eating for our health and vitality becomes a simple process when we understand that minimally processed natural food sources that have been raised and grown in conditions which support the land and them, provides the most nutrient dense positive nourishment for mind and body.
As Sophie says in the film, “healthy soil, healthy animal, healthy milk/food, healthy human”. It is a simple connected wheel, one that does require us to be aware and mindful of what, where and how our food is raised/grown/produced.
You can watch the film on weMove.world, or click the link in our instagram bio.
Thanks to Chris as always for making these films, up and out whatever the weather to capture the moments and share the stories of the people and animals who provide our food.
Peace.
