A sustainable food system is a collaborative network that integrates several components in order to enhance a community\u2019s environmental, economic and social well-being.  <\/em>\u2013 Community Research Connections<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When one is born and raised in a developed nation, such as the United States or Canada, food is provided and consumed with minimal effort. The negative consequence of this is that the vast majority of food eaten is processed with unhealthy chemicals, such as preservatives and excess amounts of sugar, sodium and\/or fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is this the case? Well, a short answer is convenience<\/em>. The majority of the population deals with hectic work, home and personal schedules which allocate a scant amount of time to prepare foods made from raw, unadulterated sources. Combine unrelenting schedules with manufacturing and technology advances, and the proliferation of convenience foods \u2013 boxed, bagged and processed \u2013 begins to make sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem is that these foods don\u2019t<\/em> make sense from a health perspective. Study after study has shown that convenience foods are not well-received by the human body. For thousands of years, our distant ancestors hunted, gathered and consumed foods that were strictly limited to available resources. In other words, we\u2019re genetically programmed to take in foods that are unaltered and pure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast-forward to today, and what do we see? Supermarkets intentionally stack their aisles side-by-side with unhealthy, unnatural foods. Notice that vegetables, fruits, meats and other \u201cunpopular\u201d edibles are limited to corner space\u2026this is done for a reason. The reason is that grocery shopper\u2019s demand for convenience foods far outpace the demand for natural, raw sources. We\u2019d rather pop a 15-minute pizza into the oven than spend 30 minutes preparing a fresh, wholesome meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the overwhelming demand for \u201cfast food,\u201d it is possible to grow, harvest and consume home-grown, natural sources of food. In fact, we\u2019re going to show six different food types that can be regrown and re-eaten. Not only are the health benefits significant, the cost savings are as well. Promisingly, these foods can also be regenerated with less than anticipated effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are six foods that can be regrown forever:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Carrots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Well, technically, carrots and other vegetables that grow from the root. Turns out that \u2013 in addition to Bugs Bunny\u2019s favorite snack \u2013 beets, turnips and parsnips are able to be home-grown for a long time. All that\u2019s needed is a container of water and a knife. Cut off the tops of each veggie, submerge in a container of water and set it out in the sun. Simply change the water in each container every few days and, once the veggie\u2019s roots appear, plant them in soil until fully developed. Repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Ginger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the world\u2019s most treasured plants, ginger has been used for countless millennia for everything \u2013 from medicinal cures to nutritional value. For interested parties, this wonderful plant is easy to grow. Simply gather a pot, some soil and a thumb-sized piece of ginger. Plant the piece upwards and within a week, the plant to should grow to a point that allows harvest.
