Sustainable Food Quotes

“If you do not interfere with the busy season in the fields, then there will be more grain than people can eat; if you do not allow nets with too fine a mesh to be used in large ponds, then there will be more fish and turtles than one can eat.”

Mencius (372-289 B.C.), a leading disciple of Confucius(‘Choice Cuts’ by Mark Kurlansky, 2002)
