The Farmers’ Paradox

This week,

Adam T Kuznia

and I discussed this paradox that we find ourselves in. We blame farmers for so much and yet, we don’t stand by them when it seems to matter the most.

We were both inspired by this note from

Justin McAffee

(the text of the quote, not the video), and we talked about what it means to us to be part of “the resistance” to the collapse.

We tackled BIG questions like what is our consumer responsibility to make change? How do we stay inspiring/inspired when we see the impact all around us? How do we share risk and responsibility? What does '“resistance” look like and how is it different for farmers vs consumers? What is participatory production and why does it matter? What are the similarities between the US and the UK as

Helen Freeman

continually points out?

It got heavy at times, but so does the world. Come along for the ride and dive into American agriculture and what it means to our food security!

Thank you

Adam T Kuznia

and I discuss the state of our farms.

What do you want to hear about next time? What’s top of mind for you in regards to our food and farming systems? How are YOU being part of the resistance?

We want to hear from you!
