A bit issue in my region is the farm land being slowly but surely taken over by developers. The area around Toronto is rich land perfect for agriculture - and could support the food needs for a good deal of the city's population. Instead we're building sub-divisions and trucking/shipping in more and more food from abroad at great environmental cost!
A leader in non-profit management and fundraising in Canada's International Development Sector and a happy and loving wife and mother who others secretly accuse of indoctrinating her children with activist/social justice messaging and endangering her children through regular international travel.
Added a few more folks to my twitter feed...I think it's crucial to follow a variety of people/advocates/professionals in any area that you're interested in to ensure a balanced and well-informed perspective...
Peripheral Vision - this I think is key...physical, social, economic and political environments are constantly changing...sometimes even a great idea can fail because we are too focussed on implementing what we planned that we fail to notice opportunities or adapt when necessary to improve results.
Hi,
I posted a video from The Stop in Toronto, about community gardening. If you haven't acted on food security yet, perhaps this is something we could work on with others in Toronto? Here's the link: http://www.urgentevoke.com/video/what-is-community-gardening#logApp
Send me a friend request and I'll respond asap.
