That video was sort of soundbite-ish, and it seemed to me that the vague ending of the vid suggests #GMO as the answer. It's not!

Taking at least some of this tax loophole away will do no harm to family farmers but will help both public revenues & the environment.

“Just a shame the relief was not wholly abolished.”

(3/3 End)

🤯Look at the utterly cynical reply from the #FoodIndustry:

"Responding to Ipsos’s findings, the Food and Drink Federation, which represents most #FoodProducers, said companies should be allowed to develop healthier products – such as by removing salt, sugar and calories and adding fibre, fruit and vegetables – rather than face taxes."

Who does not allow corporations to develop healthier foods? To make them less sweet? To make them less salty? To use healthier ingredients?

I'm attending a harvest work party at Rake & Radish local farm in #Saanich on Wednesday morning til early afternoon. It's a small scale #QueerOwned farm. It's only 10 minutes from my home. I believe in what this small local farm is doing. I want to actively support them, with my boots & cane on their small farm grounds.

"Rake and Radish is a small-scale farm growing a wide range of vegetables, as well as berries and flowers, on half-acre plot at the base of PKOLS on unceded lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ territories.

At Rake and Radish Farm, I aim to queer farming and make fresh, delicious vegetables more accessible to people in our community.

I operate with a triple bottom line: environmental, financial, and emotional. This means holistic success that takes into account more than just the financial success of the farm operation. Regenerative land stewardship, a fulfilling social life, relationships, and time to recharge are all part of the farm’s measure of success."

> .. the theory and practice of agroecology have emerged as an alternative paradigm and vision for food systems. Agroecology is an approach to #agriculture and #foodSystems that mimics nature, stresses the importance of local knowledge and #participatory processes and that prioritizes the agency and voice of #foodProducers over #corporations and other elite actors.
