The Case of Food...

... an example for the synergies between work towards a good life and work towards sustainability.

The Theme of Communication

How I even got involved with "positive ecology" came about through food:
A group of teenagers thought about contributing to a campaign against GMO food plants.

This was the time only just of the FlavrSavr tomato designed to keep longer as a whole fruit, and only ever used in making tomato puree... they suggested an action in which something of that spills, and was to be cleaned up by guys in hazardous materials suits.
I was appalled: It was the same scare tactics employed for all-too long, and in a case in which they would not be justified. (There are problems with GMOs, especially in how they are employed, but nothing like that.)

My suggestion (which they didn't like): Cook tomato soup.
Ask whether people really needed a tomato that keeps looking fresh for longer when it is not as tasty as the heirloom varieties we should work on protecting and making available through local food production...

Moreover...

We currently see problems we are getting with food production.

Healthier diets, with less meat, would also be easier to produce (less resource-intensive).
A combined system of local food production plus trading would provide better diets, possibly a better fit between food prices and the wages in the locality, and still preserve the food security and diversity that comes from trading when necessary and for products better grown elsewhere.
... and there is more, which will be explored on the blog for "aoi."
