I agree with the articles point of view,There has to be away for the consumer to take a share in the equity and also the risk in the production of food .Allowing for the producer to make a living wage .

Wow, fantastic work! Bravo to the SELRS Facilitators, Guiding Group and the GFSA Animators for bringing some clarity to our very confusing and frustrating food system. It gives me great hope to see this work!

Comment on Digesting the Global Food System – SELRS update by John Zylstra

The production and consumption of food is indeed a complicated diagram. I just read a story about 17 kindergarten children dying in a minibus accident in china. The article said they had 64 people in a nine passenger bus. So safety took a back seat. As safety increases, cost increases, and ghg emissions also increase, since they will need seven buses instead of one. To some extent this also applies to food production.? As we increase safety and capacity, will our costs and ghg emissions increase?
Can local food including backyards guarantee a certain supply? or will it always need a surplus backup system? And how does this backup system remain viable?
