People are fed by the food industry, which pays no attention to health, and are treated by the health industry, which pays no attention to food.

>>Who are we supposed to blame?

@econetwork I think it's a mixture and depends on where/how you live. The food industry acts for maximum profit, they are not an ethical entity. We could blame turbocapitalism which is too abstract for change. The possibility are also strong regulations for ecology and health, so we have to blame politicians and governments if they don't act - and us if voting for these (if we live in a democracy with the right to vote and choice). And of course we can blame us, the consumers, but now it becomes
@econetwork complicated. For acting here, we need the knowledge about bad acts of industry (= independent media), the education about healthy and good food (starting in school but also for adults), and the possibility to buy differently (depends on poverty, regional choice, deoendance on shop systems etc) or forms of decentralised, local opportunities to produce your own food.
You know better than me, how complicated this alone can be!
As we need to start small, I think that your method of edu-
@econetwork -cation + producing with a community is the best start because you don't have to wait for the "big systems" and can feel agency. And people who start like this, will know the questions to politics much better than anyone sitting at home and doing nothing than to blame others.
My curious question: do you feel agency with your project and that it changes situations locally for the people? Or do you feel more like a minority in your country hitting too many walls??

@NatureMC Thank you for this thoughtful question. To be honest, it is both. We do feel agency because we can see some positive changes locally through our project, especially when people start learning, growing food, and working together.

At the same time, we still face many challenges and limited resources, and sometimes it feels like we are a small group facing big systems.

But every small step and positive impact gives us more motivation to continue.💪
