The biggest challenge to food security in my town is this. We have land on the river that we grow corn on,nothing but corn and all of it is shipped out. None stays to support the town, we don't even have a farmer's market. It is illegal to own farm animals! Even though we know that some of us do it anyways though. There aren't any innovative solutions for us. Our town even got rid of the recycling center we one had. If global warming and food shortages happen to us in the near future, we are on our own. Our city will not help us, it is up to the people here. We have to change it, so far we press our boundaries. Sneaking chickens and ducks into out yards and planting grape vines that are banned. Hopefully one day someone will get into office that will eradicate our oppressive laws but until then, me and my family and some of my neighbors will keep pushing back.
