[…] In many respects the pandemic highlights long-standing food problems. If we are to avert not just this food crisis but the next one as well, deeper changes to the current system are needed. We must redesign the relationships between food producers, processors, retailers, and consumers so as to shorten supply chains and create more slack in the system. Large, centralized systems are touted as efficient, but often they are instead fragile. We need a food system that is antifragile, to use a term coined by Nassim Taleb. That requires decentralization and more localization, which would entail the buildout of many more small-to-mid-sized farms and the facilities to process, store, and sell the food grown on these farms. This is the opposite of what has happened in the decades since WWII. We used to have many small and mid-sized farms, but they went bankrupt or were bought out. Somehow, we need to make sure they can survive and thrive. And we must prioritize food production methods that use a minimum of fossil fuels, that capture atmospheric carbon and sequester it in soil, that build healthy and biologically rich topsoil, that deliver nutritious and affordable food, and that are fair to farmers and farmworkers.

We like to get this Food Justice Certified Label to our project EcoVredeGaard. Our local Food Forest started in 2015. In our opinion it’s important to work on systems where money is only a small part in the process. This is because of the problems directly connected to our moneysystem. Thank you!

This seems like it will be an extremely hard up hill battle when dealing with big-agro; making it that much more important to be waged. For now though, it seems to fit in more with a local, market based network, and in many ways is already in play, though I am sure there are possibly areas where this attention is needed in this alternate system as well.

As I learn of more and more of these certification hoops, my concern has to turn to the small market farmer now being swamped for time to figure out which are the certificates to get rather than being focused on learning the best, perfecting the best, and implementing the best sustainable agriculture methods.
