Aloha,
I'd heard of brix but never looked into it. Just read the posted
article about what it is/measures. Sounds useful - a good tool to add
to a rich toolbox for educating people about the nature and quality of
what they're eating and how it comes to be.
And - it seems obvious to me that focusing on a single
approach/measurement/solution for "quality" of food (brix, as one
example) is not at all a permaculture way of going about anything.
Brix could be one element, along with more direct grower-buyer
relations, localized production and purchase, education of food-buying
public (i.e. everyone, except maybe breatharians... ;-)
Let's not replicate the "one size fits all" approach (to anything) that
seems to have caused so much trouble this far.
