Thinking Big (0.00 / 0)

We need to lead the way in the world in establishing global food security and food sovereignty! Mostly my ideas come from the book Thinking Big and Jim Harkness' excellent essay in there: we need governing standards for all nations about food! US should advocate for the right of all countries to safeguard their food sovereignty through support for farmers and agriculture, border measures, and food reserves. We need to establish a grain reserve. We need egulation of the commodity markets and reformed (i.e. get rid of stupid rules and corruption) and increased foreign food aid.  I also think that curbing obesity here at home is vital, as the WHO reports that there are 900,000 obese people, and 700,000 starving.  Since both are a form of malnutrition - both need to be treated as dire issues.
