Jeanette’s Food Manifesto

by frog

Here’s another extract from Jeanette’s speech yesterday:

Our coalition has written a manifesto. It reads:

We the people shall have control over our food. We will sustain ourselves.

Our food supply will be independent from world price shocks and shortages

We will grow the delicious healthy food our people need to thrive

Seasonal fruit and vegetables will be affordable and easily available, even in our cities.

Additives without nutritional value will remain in labs rather than our food chain.

Our kids will know where food comes from and understand about growing things

Communities will be able to trace food back to local farmers, local shop keepers and local manufacturers.

Farming and food production will provide stable, healthy employment and help to rebuild our rural communities.

Our effective, sustainable farming practices and the quality of our organic produce will be renowned at home and overseas.

The way we grow our food will contribute to our beautiful environment, landscapes and waterways, as well as our health.
