Vancouver rallies for food freedom November 23rd 2011 in conjunction with all the other right to food choice rallies across the country. These food freedom rallies are in response to the irrational and heavy handed pressure on small-scale local organic food clubs and communities across North America and increasingly the rest of the Commonwealth as well. Corporate agriculture monopolies are doing their best to crush out the last remaining footholds of small-scale, traditional and artisan farmers.

Is this the future of food? Not in my world.

We have finally gotten the word from the judge, he found our x-Agister Alice Jongerdon in contempt of court, fortunately he didn't charge her any penalties. This is rather disappointing news. ...
Many people have been saying this for a while--we have the tools to create a whole different world at our fingertips and we are still tied up with all sorts of outdated institutions that are causing more problems than they are solving. The US elections are a good example of how much time, energy and ...
The past few days have been very disturbing, with a judge who is obviously in the pocket of the Milk Industry, refusing to even enter into a discourse about the situation of our local Community Supported Dairy. At the end of the trial he ordered our local Agister, Alice to stop milking our cows (poo ...
