what's happened as I've continued to grow food. I've recognized that the
power in growing food keeping things local and being able to educate
people about nutrition, cooking and so we're going back to the table
together has been really important.
It becomes an community building relationship building with the community
too, because then they have ideas that they share with me and it just
becomes this sort of really wonderful exchange of information which helps
to empower people to cook, grow their own food and go back to the table
together.
But the way small farms can ignite the community again in a way that helps
rethink or re feed our communities is by actualizing small farms and a
large scale in many places so that there is more access to fresh. Oh and
that gives people power, I guess
Our food source has been degraded in the last 40 years in a way that is
unhealthy. And so it's now time to look at it and restructure the way we
grow access and distribute food in a way that gives it back to the people
in a way that makes them healthy.
Small farms have the way leverage to bring people back together and build
relationships and part of what we need to do is embrace each other and
build relationships again.
What I'd really like to see come out of 2040 is that the conversation
really begins to, to gel between political leaders, farmers, community
leaders and people in a way that embraces and acknowledges the fact that
we have a problem with food production in this country and that we need to
be able to shift the way we access, distribute and grow food so that we
can have healthier, stronger families and communities.
