flakkebjerg.






yesterday i went along with my organic agriculture class to research center flakkebjerg, some 100 kilometers south east of københavn.
riding back to the city center from the other side of this island, zealand, between the snow-covered fields dotted
with patches of trees and an occasional country home, was well worth the trip alone.
it was undoubtedly interesting to see first hand what work is being done to improve methods of disease and pest
control, to give an example, especially with the aim of
reducing the negative impact of large-scale agricultural
practices on the environment.
we, as in general consumers of food products, are so far
removed from what actually goes into the production of
what we eventually put into our mouths. an act that we
participate in multiple times daily is innately
subconscious, yet involves so many prior decisions.
to be aware of one's affect is an admiration of one's
efforts.
what is residual.
