It is a matter of summoning our collective will to build a future based on the common good, and the people with whom we can best do it are our neighbors in our communities and bioregions. We can change the world by beginning the work in our own places.
If we start instead by attending to aspirational values such as equity, empowerment, and respect and reciprocity with the natural world we will better see the long-term transformative potential of solutions we already have in hand to build food systems that are more sustainable, regenerative and just.
