🔑 Key Takeaways:

The supply and demand equation for food is thrown off by government subsidies, but we need to incentivize the market to support activities that will actually help us over time.
Sustainable small farming and regenerative agriculture are potential solutions to the problem, but critics argue that they cannot feed the world. However, if the world eats less meat, it is possible.
The Farm Bill needs to incentivize small farmers and sustainability programs. It needs to put a vote in the area of education and training that helps support folks.
The treatment of farm workers is a major issue and needs to be addressed.
Consumers have the power to make decisions and impact the market. They can choose healthy food and food that is created in a fair manner.
Voting, both at the national and local level and donating effectively are ways to advocate for change.
