Once upon a time, generations before today's corporate agricultural model and profit-first enterprises, food was localized and sustainable. Regional food sources were required which helped create and sustain peoples and cultures. In certain circumstances across the world and time, these domesticates helped define cultures beyond sustaining, and still remain with us today. These domesticates were, and still remain, a vital part of our human experience not only in nutrition, but also of cultural, social, and economic value definitions. Across aeons of breeding, raising, and historical records - waterfowl is a lost connection of cultural health and sustainability that we all should embrace.
