A SCN action idea

A key ingredient of a sustainable community is a healthy farm sector, healthy for both the farmer and the consumer. Here are some ideas on how to eat better and support a local farm economy:

• buy organic, locally grown produce whenever possible. Ask the manager of your favourite grocery store to stock more local and organic produce.
• buy your food directly from a local farmer.
• grow your own organic produce, and plant heritage and rare seeds in your garden.
• start or join a local food buying co-op.
