China is a complex, diverse and beautiful country with a rich cultural and culinary heritage. During the past two decades, China has taken on and achieved the monumental task of becoming an economic superpower, as it was for much of its history.

But this astounding progress has come at a price. China catapulted to power by joining, and excelling in, the Western game of economies of scale, technological intervention, and globalized business.

Meanwhile, during these same decades, the Western world has gradually become aware of the unsustainability of some of its own business practices. In the realm of food, we now face growing concern about the many long term health effects of industrial food. The consequences are nothing short of a global health crisis.

And yet we are familiar with the natural path that leads to health and vitality into old age. It is the path to which many are returning in North America, that some in Europe and Japan never left, and that China must soon discover.

It is our hope that Organic China will help to illuminate this path. Stay tuned.
