Only when farming is elevated and respected as the highest health providor and farmers are nurtured and positioned as doctors of our medicine will this situation be reversed. Why is this not being discussed in the office of National Security as priority No.1 and particularly during an election week for that matter. Formulating a plan to remove 750,000 food bearing trees.....This is serious, very very serious and it finds itself relegated to some lost page in the written media. Our food is our future and barely a week after the first national Fair Food Week is this the position and result of a so called Food Plan. Where is the Food Plan and where is the mechanism to deal with a situation like this. Last night I shared visons and innovations with changemakers from the Centre For Sustainability Leadership (CSL), School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE), and Green Steps Program. There is no time like right now to unleash innovative ways to connect city folk with our farming family to keep our orchards in the ground. Our food future is being decided without our input and these decisions will take decades to repair. Our most powerful tool is our dollar and where we choose to spend it. We can open doors for local produce and local farmers or we can support the current system which is creating this story. There are lots of alternatives to this pathway. theguardian/world/2013/aug/22/farmers-rip-fruit-trees-victoria Greensteps Sydney Food Fairness Alliance 2013 NSW Landcare and Catchment Management Forum Centre for Sustainability Leadership #cslaustralia Youth Food Movement Australia Gardening Australia Gardening Australia LIVE Australian Organic Gardening Milkwood Permaculture Old Mill Road BioFarm
