As Vegan, do you think enough about how our food is grown?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.

Many choose a plant-based diet to reduce harm, to animals, to the planet, and often to our own health. But I’m starting to wonder: how often do we look at the farming practices behind those fruits, veggies, and nuts we eat every day?

There are farmers out there going all-in on organic, regenerative, and soil-friendly practices. They’re fighting against short-term thinking, choosing biodiversity over monoculture, and often struggling to stay afloat in a system that rewards quantity over quality.

But these farmers don’t always show up on the front of a package. Their food might cost a bit more. It might not be available in the biggest supermarket chains.

So here’s my question to the community:

If you’re vegan or plant-based for ethical or environmental reasons: do you also try to support the farmers behind organic or regenerative practices?

Is this something you think about when shopping?
And if not, what would make it easier to do so?

Really curious to hear your thoughts! No judgment, just reflection.
