Homework
Food Justice: Food Justice is the idea that food and its way of growing is healthy for the body, as well as equitable for all people.
Farm/Nature Therapy: Becoming one with nature and being able to just relax and creating a bond within yourself and your environment.
Nature Deficit Disorder: Children and people not spending enough time outside and causes a wide range of behavior problems.
As time goes on, humans have been spending less and less time with nature and unfortunately it is causing negative effects on the world around us. Due to the fact that we have stopped our communication with nature, people have felt the need to cut corners and do nearly anything in order to get what they want faster. In doing so, food with harsh chemicals has become the main food source. As people began to realize the harsh effects of cutting corners, organic food started becoming the new fad. Organic products and food tends to be more expensive which cuts out those less fortunate from having the same opportunities to a healthier life. Food Justices' purpose is to battle that ideal and set up a way for an equal playing field when it comes to good food.
As if having a corrupt food source wasn't enough, more people are spending time away from nature and becoming disassociated with it entirely. because of this, more people are beginning to develop Nature Deficit Disorder. This was a term coined by Richard Louv in 2005.
