Content: Volunteer with and give money to organizations that work on food access issues. There are many. A good place to start is The Community Food Security Coalition. 7. Not Enough People Engaged in Agriculture
Somebody’s got to grow all that food, but farmers are getting older and farming has long been in decline as a career choice. That’s because the system favors machine over man and profits over everything. This means lack of opportunities for farmers to earn a living wage that allows them to buy food and health insurance (see point five from last week). And it’s also unsustainable. ( See point number 9 below). If we want to continue to eat, we’re going to have to get more people engaged in farming and we’re going to need to integrate agriculture into society.
