Some Solutions to the Threat of Globalism to the Food Supply
This is a quick followup to “Is Globalism a threat to the food supply?”
I am an active member on Facebook and one of my friends posted Nine Steps Towards Family Food Security by Robert Waldrop from the ChesterBelloc Mandate. In the entry, the following nine suggestions are made:
- Grow some of your own food.
- Eat with the season.
- Buy directly from farmers.
- Learn to process foods.
- Learn many things. Practice many skills. Teach others.
- Make your own snacks.
- Help the local food coop’s reach even more people.
- Work together with neighbors and friends.
- Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
I modified #7 since it referred (along with #3) to a specific food coop. However, what is contained there could be applied to other food coop’s in your area. Mainly, the solutions are practical ways to modify one’s life to not only be more self sufficient, but also help the local economy.
