Found a piece on stewardship vs ownership at the heart of Canada's resource strategy.

The framing is about oil. But the argument travels.

"Ownership asks what can I take. Stewardship asks what must I leave stronger."

Canada's food and water are a national trust in exactly the same sense.

Food sovereignty is a stewardship question, not just a supply chain one.
