Why do food chains start with green plants?

Food chains start with green plants because they are able to produce their own food through photosynthesis, using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. This makes them the primary producers of an ecosystem, providing energy for all other organisms in the food chain through their consumption by herbivores.


Why are the producers always the start of the food chain?

If you have a food chain then the chain must have a beginning (where the food is made) and an end (where the food is finally all used up). Thius in a food chain the "producers" of the food (the plants) are ALWAYS the start. The plants make food using CO2 from the air, Water from the ground and the energy they collect from Sunlight. It is the passing on of this energy from the Sun that is the chain.
