Today marks a new milestone for our company towards our commitment to the environment and health of our clients. For quite some time we have been thoughtfully searching for an organization with a mission and cause directly tied to the health of our clients and the quality of meals. Bound together by our belief that soil regeneration will lead to a healthier society and future for our community and planet, we are excited to announce a new partnership with Kiss the Ground, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to awaken people to the possibility of regeneration.
Through courses and immersive programming for farmers, advocacy, and more, Kiss the Ground educates, inspires and empowers individuals to understand the impact of regenerating our soil through better farming practices. If widely adopted, regenerative agriculture could reverse the Earth’s climate crisis, provide ubiquitous access to healthful foods by producing more nutrient-dense, higher-yield crops, and solidify the independence of the small farmers that Provenance Meals supports.
Higher Quality Food
At the root of Provenance Meals is the clean source of our ingredients and the abundant, nourished environment in which they grow. Without good soil, you cannot grow good ingredients. Without good ingredients, you cannot receive good nourishment.
Kiss the Ground supports the foundation of this nutrition cycle by educating farmers and community members on how to grow the best food the best way possible. The more farmers that Kiss the Ground can train in regenerative agriculture, the more available and affordable these ultra healthy and responsibly grown products will become.
The COVID-19 pandemic has proven to be a challenge for us all. This past year has shown us that the need for nutrient-dense ingredients is growing and we need to meet the demand to properly support our collective health. By making high-quality produce more available to all, we are helping alleviate common health problems like obesity from our community and bolstering the health of those vulnerable to the coronavirus and other illness.
What does soil regeneration do?
- Rebuilds topsoil to capture atmospheric carbon dioxide
- Boosts biodiversity
- Maintains proper water and nutrient cycling
- Produces more nutrient-dense, higher-yield crops
Climate Crisis and Impact of Modern Farming
Given the current smokey state of the west coast caused by blazing wildfires, we need to respond to what our earth is telling us. According to UNFAO, 30 million acres of farmable land (nearly the size of England), is lost to soil degradation annually. Problems from flooding and drought can also be traced back to modern farming practices that force versus fostering natural ecosystems. By supporting local and beyond organic methods of agriculture, we are taking preventative action and investing in the health of future generations.
We are grateful for this opportunity and look forward to spreading the word of Kiss The Ground's efforts in our community, supporting through monetary donations, and encouraging more of our farm partners to practice regenerative agriculture.
To launch our partnership, Provenance Meals will be donating 1% of nationwide profits from the Feel Good Fix, our newest organic meal program, to support Kiss the Ground’s mission to create societal awareness around the extraordinary potential of healthy soil and regeneration.
We’re so excited to have found Kiss the Ground and be able to expand our existing network of regenerative farm purveyors. Learn more about their mission and word at the Global Watch Party event on September 22 at 6pm PST for their documentary on Netflix The Solution Is Under Our Feet.
We hope you will join us on the journey to better soil, better food, and better health of the planet and all who inhabit it.
Yours in health,
Founder & CEO, Provenance Meals
