Plant-Based Diets Won’t Stop American Imperialism...Someone actually living their life at the intersection of food, agriculture, race, and health would likely suggest a far less clumsy, short-sighted, shallow, and consumerist solution to these problems than “eat less meat.” Those solutions might include:*Redirecting farmer welfare to regional, worker-owned agricultural collectives and co-ops and distribution vehicles, and organizations that support these efforts*Deep research into ancestral foodways and funding of localized food sovereignty efforts*Land/water repatriation*Funding true innovations like multi-tier ocean farming and tech that helps polycultures scale*Making substantial overhauls to fish and game regulations to restore wild resources to levels where they can — once again — serve as serious food sources*Addressing endemic poverty that keeps nutritious diets beyond the reach of food insecure people even when they have access to good foodheated.medium.com/food-and-empire-844506392422*American Progress is an 1872 painting by John Gast- This painting visually portrays the process of American westward expansion. The painting was chosen by the author of the article. You can find more historical analysis online. DRA encourages white people to take the person steps to investigate, learn, unpack, take action, show solidarity, make reparations, and begin the long process of owning our history and present actions as colonizers, individuals of white privilege, and as people who have benefited from policies, actions, and world views founded in white supremacy. If you are interested in learning more on how you can join DRA and its members in working with others to do this critical work. Please reach out via PM or contact the office. #foodsecurity #SodakGrown #knowyourfarmer #foodsoverignty #localfood #decentralizefood #foodsystemschange #decolonizeyourmind ... See MoreSee Less
