My vision for the future is that food security is addressed through sustainable forms of agriculture. This vision relates to my values of protecting the earth and that I believe everyone has the right to have enough food for them and no one should experience food insecurity. After this week's lecture I realize there are two main problems with this, 1. People need to get enough food which is not possible with current 'sustainable' farms and 2. It is incredibly hard for most farms to be sustainable. My intervention/solution comes in at the provincial/federal level, I would like to see more grants and subsidies for farmers who are willing to transition to more sustainable farming practices. This will help increase the amount of sustainable farms which will also help produce more 'sustainable' food.

Thank you for this wonderful post, Allison. I love the idea of introducing grants for sustainable agriculture! Said innovation would facilitate access to capital for creating diverse, perennial polycultures. Improving access to capital for 'rewilded' agriculture is critical since Kai mentioned in class and The Biggest Little Farm demonstrated that such agriculture requires substantial initial investment and follows a different pattern of annual crop returns.
