Organic Revolution
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: February 4, 2009
With unemployment, food scares and demands on food banks all up, the time is now for an organic revolution. President Obama and Congress are currently considering a massive financial stimulus package to rescue our economy. Absent from the discussion has been any reference to supporting a sustainable and organic food system.
Our economy and national security depend on re-localizing our food system, shifting away from chemically dependent industrial agriculture, and assuring that the food system supports living wages for farmers, farm workers and other workers in the supply chain.
Redirecting the billions of dollars in farm subsidies away from corporate farms and industrial bio-fuels towards a just and organic food system is a solid long-term investment in America's future.
