Hi Tim,
First, welcome to edgeryders, I just read your introduction post!
Do you think this concept of food security is still important these days, when there is a surplus of food produced worldwide and we have gone past the ability to feed our countries?
I ask because others in the conversation like @angelo and @Dragan_Jonic make a point of saying today’s challenge is really about healthy food chains, it’s not really about producing food but how it is being commercialised, to who’s benefits and losses.
We are preparing for an event on Monday afternoon Europe time/ your morning (you’re more than welcome to join by the way, just let me know so I can send you an access link). And we are trying to figure out ways in which more support can be brought back to rural areas - whether consumer support, coordination and resources for developing local markets etc… Of course, the situation in Europe might be very different from the one in the US, but I wonder: in your community, do you see people being more preoccupied by the source of their food, and how what actions are they taking?
