insects and micro-organisms. Maurizio Paoletti of Pauda

University says that:
Thousands of plants and animals and microorganisms
are associated in rural ecosystems in the cycle of crop or
animal production. Most of these are still little known. 105

Consider the food chain that links together millions of
living species in a flawless cycle. Any ecosystem contains
producers, such as green plants, consumers, such as ani-
mals, and breaking-down organisms such as bacteria and

fungi. Green plants, seaweed, algae and some photosyn-
thetic bacteria are matchless food factories, producing mil-
lions of sugar molecules every second. 106 Each year, photo-
synthesizing organisms produce about 170 billion metric
tons of carbohydrates—about 30 metric tons for every per-
son on Earth. 107
Humans, on the other hand, constitute the final link in

the food chain. For example, the zander—a freshwater bass
and an excellent source of protein for humans—feeds on
smaller fish that in turn, feed on invertebrate animals that
eat algae. In short, a species we eat for nutritional purpos-
es is closely linked to a great many other living species,
from marine organisms too small to be seen with the naked
eye to small invertebrates. This same state of affairs applies
to all living things that provide us with the vegetable and
