You might say they are awfully sentimental about food. They remember back to the way it used to be: grown locally by honest families they knew. Sustainability “How and what we eat determines to a great extent the use we make of the world — and what is to become of it.” It started as a line in Michael Pollan’s groundbreaking book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, but the above quotation soon took on the character of a manifesto. Suddenly consuming had consequences; eating had ethics. Set aside the ancient chicken-egg quandary. For the aware consumer in search of healthful, veganic flour, bread or cereal, the more relevant question became: which came first, the chicken manure or the grain? The quest for less selfish patterns of consumption led directly to a renewed interest in sustainable agriculture. Sustainability is more than organic growing; in fact, its more rigorous standards plug the loopholes that some nominally organic growers exploit. Its methods of production emphasize sustaining the land through biodiversity in planting, conservation, and using natural processes to enrich the soil. Sustainability emphasizes a closeness to the source of the food, the people who grow it and to the local soil which nourished it. Implicit in this guiding philosophy is that eating is not simply a matter of taking from the earth; the fields and farmers also deserve a fair exchange. In sustainable growing, chemicals and man-made fertilizers are out. But so is animal waste fertilizer, which may contain hormones and other unhealthful residues. Food from mass organic farms or distant sources is also out. Sustainability emphasizes a closeness to the source of the food, the people who grow it, and to the local soil which nourished it.

In an age when even Wal-Mart is stocking “organic” fare, it’s wise to consider what the word now really means. Does the label guarantee healthy food, grown responsibly by people with integrity? Without transparency, it’s hard to know. But they, like you, want to know the story of their food; and that’s why they insist that all their ingredients are not only organic, but also veganic. Organic growers are not supposed to use chemical pesticides, herbicides or man-made fertilizers on crops. Yet an organic certification does allow farmers to use animal waste, including blood meal and bone meal, to fertilize fields. Some organic farms purchase these animal by-products from slaughterhouses and other non-organic sources. The animals have been given antibiotics and hormones throughout their lives, and exposed to pesticides and other chemicals. Every grower who helps make One Degree foods uses veganic farming methods.
