Please Sign Petition for Food Democracy Now! · 9 December 08

As Michael Pollan has indicated, our next President will also be our Farmer In Chief.

We believe that his choice for the next Secretary of Agriculture, alongside his or her staff should reflect this understanding through their life’s work.

The best response to an increasingly dire financial crisis is to take a deep breath and return to our communities, says the founder of Slow Food in the Tetons. Rather than gloom and doom, the changing season should inspire people to become more locally self-sufficient, Sue Muncaster says.

“I really think that the whole thing with the economy is evidence that we’ve lived out of control for too long,” said the Idaho-based organizer, writer and mother. “I think about how fast and fierce the ‘global financial crisis’ hit us. Imagine how fast and furious the inevitable global food crisis is going to hit us. It’s time to take action and just say no to fast food, processed food and big corporations.”

Fall 2008 Slow Food in the Tetons Newsletter · 22 October 08

The past few weeks have “shocked and awed” us as far as the global reach of the financial meltdown. I encourage you to consider how quickly and equally out of control a global food crisis could hit the planet due to the modern industrialized food system. Only by becoming more locally self-sufficient will we be prepared for what many experts believe is inevitable.
