Скачать или смотреть Food Is So Expensive! My Rant About A Broken System

Food security matters and it should be on everyone's mind these days. We are living in a broken system. Growing food and getting that food to people is the basis of everything. Our global food system is fragile and can be impacted by many factors outside of the control of any one country. This makes food expensive for reasons that don't actually make logical sense. You need to care about your food security for yourselves and for your communities. This video is a rant, it's me venting about my frustrations with certain elements of the food system as it relates to my country of New Zealand. Lots of the things I talk about are global issues. Onerous legislation stopping producers being able to come to market, unfair trading rules, a lack of compassion for people who can't afford to buy food at market prices, farmers not being paid enough and consumers having to pay too much. We need to be educated about how our food systems work, and take steps to ensure that everyone has enough healthy food available within their own communities. We need to stop letting people who have no idea about what it takes to grow food make decisions that effect everyone's lives. We need to grow our own food in our own local communities and take the power back for ourselves.
