Recently, a YB member sent me a link to a new movie that was coming out called Planet Local: A Quiet Revolution.
You can view it HERE
There are many success stories in this movie about communities taking control of their food supply and using the concept of “Localization” to shift their trajectories.
3 of the ways that “Localization” is defined in the film are
-Shifting from dependence on global corporations toward local and regional economies
-Building or supporting place-based institutions and cultures
-Shortening the distances between producer and consumer
It always excites me to tell you about your food. This week we have purchased the products in the boxes from 16 different local farms….EVERY ONE of them is from OHIO. (this is not different than any other week, but still helps to hear it once in a while)
In doing this, we are hitting on all 3 of the definitions above!
Folks, this is no longer a convenience that MIGHT be a good idea. In my observance, there is no other solution that is more impactful on so many systems as changing the way we
-
Eat
-
Buy Food
We are on the front lines every week, using your $$ to bring to life what some people only see as a fairytale concept.
There are many people that watch the film above and think, “I sure wish I knew a way to take action but I don’t even know where to begin!”
We are so blessed to be surrounded by a local food system that has sustained us through a pandemic, and will continue to do so through more of the trials and tribulations to come.
Let’s keep working together to manifest what we know the world needs!
