The AGRONOMY AND HEALTH theme encompasses many soil-plant-animal relationships that influence "total health" - reproduction, longevity, vigor, mental capacity, and happiness of people everywhere. The high availabilities of nutritious foods is an absolute necessity. We sometimes forget that plant life developed before animal life. Plants alone utilize radiant energy to fix simple carbohydrates that with other materials are subsequently metabolized into organic compounds to supply energy and nutritional needs for all animal life. Animal products improve the nutritional value, palatability, and pleasure of eating.
