And even though these polarities stare at us very blatantly, there is still one thing that unites us all. Leaving aside for a moment the subjective aspects of morality and social ideology, there is one material aspect we all strive for every day of our lives. Food. Good food. For whether you're enjoying a Big Mac after the shopping spree or trying to fill your daughter's plate with rice in your daily one hour off, we need it to live.
We have been alienated as to how important food is in our daily life. Going around our busy lives, earning more and more money we think we depend on luxuries which we soon realize are trivialities. But each and every day we go around asking ourselves ‘What am I going to eat?’
And even though we usually find the answer we rarely understand that the chicken nuggets we thawed or the potato we peeled or the can of mushrooms we just opened all trace themselves back to that one and only sector which has been with us since the dawn of civilization: agriculture. For whether ploughing the soil with an ox or harvesting wheat with a two-storey machine, whether keeping a couple of rabbits to supply his one’s family or owing a multi-million milking parlor, agriculture has been the source of our nourishment since forever.
We are now realizing that a world without our farmers and growers is a world without food and a world without food collapses – right away.
Revolving around farming and growing is a wide range of subject areas- from environmental protection to animal care, from entrepreneurship to machine operation.
This blog is written by Maltese students who are the future food providers and animal carers.
We hope you enjoy your stay and we look forward for your feedback.
