During hard times, being thankful for what we have comes a little easier. Here’s a map to help guide your thoughts of thanks in regards to food.
But before you breath a sign of relief over there being so much room to grow more, remember that only 29% of the Earth’s surface is land and only 9% of it is arable. And guess what, we’re not taking good care of it.
We have much to be thankful for, but it’s not a guaranteed condition. They’ll still call it Thanksgiving, even if there’s hardly anything on your plate. Just ask anyone with hardly anything on their plate.
