with intention

The Future of Food party was a sucess... good to see Chris Bean in attendance, as well as the new director for the ACGA. There is so much information in this documentary that is so very important that I would be willing to travel to your lands and lead a viewing/dialoge in your space!

The big word that resonated with me this time I viewed the documentary was "compassion." Who ever thought that what you buy at the grocery could have ramifications globally? We need to begin asking ourselves "are the decisions I'm making to save a few dollars marginalizing the poor?" We make choices everyday in ignorance that have a long lasting impact on our world systems and ultimately people. The question is: Are we willing to challenge our status quo? -or is our comfort simply more convenient than asking hard questions?

Wendell Berry writes

A typical example of the conduct of industrial heroism is to be found in the present rush of experts to "solve the problem of world hunger"--which is rarely defined except as a "world problem" known, in industrial jargon, as "the world food problematique." As is characteristic of industrial heroism, the professed intention here is entirely salutary: nobody should starve. The trouble is that "world hunger" is not a problem that can be solved by a "world solution." Except in a very limited sense, it is not an industrial problem, and industrial attempts to solve it--such as the "Green Revolution" and "Food for Peace"--have often had grotesque and destructive results. "The problem of world hunger" cannot be solved until it is understood and dealt with by local people as a multitude of local problems of ecology, agriculture, and culture.
