Making a Difference in our Food System.

My goal is to make a difference in the food system, so that one day, local, organic food will be readily available to the masses, as opposed to its current status in our society, which is that of a luxury item. In order for this to occur, many more members of my generation need to take an interest in agriculture. Only when we have an increase in the numbers of small farms will the accessibility to this food increase. Otherwise, we'll be stuck in the current system, and there won't be hope for an improvement. The activists in this movement aren't holding signs, or occupying parks. The activists in this movement are collecting eggs, digging rows, or making cheese. In this movement, farmers are the activists, and farming is the activism that will bring about change in the system.
