Drivers should be in favour of cycling infrastructure beyond painted lines. It relieves congestion on the road and makes driving a less stressful experience.

Richie Bloomfield When a person doesn’t have capital to employ we expect them to abandon freedom. Their very existence is seen as a threat to the freedom (safety) of others. We ask those without capital to abandon choice and self determination and we hyper focus on needs/deficits over capacities.

Not how we wanted to start the year, but blown away by the show of community support already. Thank you.

The ability to hire full-time "off-farm" leadership has been a dream for more than 6-years, and we could not be more excited to announce Becky taking on this role! Her deep understanding and commitment to just food systems will undoubtedly empower our community.

Coming soon! We are hosting a Cafe PopUp at 201 King St. with Sidetrack Café starting March 7 for a limited time. Hope to see you there! ☕️

Since the 70s when USDA Sec Butz famously told farmers “get big or get out," policy makers & industry leaders have accepted bigger farms are better than alternatives. It's worth considering why this trend isn't helping us & will only get worse rb.gy/thv2kj @NatObserver

*Save the Date* May 13 from 11am-3pm! We will be holding a seedling sale & celebrating the beginning of the growing season & recognizing the generous funds we received from the Ontario Trillium Foundation foundation & welcoming our first ED, Becky Ellis! Stay tuned for more details!#urbanfarming

We do need new farm severance policies that allow for smaller farm sizes in most Ontario rural municipalities to improve land access for young, especially first-generation farmers. However, Doug Ford's PPS is not the answer. Rural-suburbia is an expansion of our existing issue.

Despite the evidence, food security policy decisions continue to focus on food charity/rescue. We've had 40 years of calling this a temporary solution. Increased income support to improve purchasing power should be step one. rb.gy/4d2wp

A smart solution to improve accessibility in the City during the winter, and a fascinating history described well by Mano Majumdar

Pop-up markets are back! 🍅 Join us on Wednesday at Crouch Neighbourhood Resource Centre to kick things off! Thank you to @crouchnrc LondonPublicLibrary @mlhealthunit #HarvestBucks, and the @londonartscouncil for joining us in supporting food security on Hamilton Road.

Happy to have my book review published in the CAFS journal. Jo Handelsman's clear call to protect soil is a timely message that should be better understood in more areas of academic inquiry and policy. The book is accessible to scholars and practitioners alike.

Expensive tech often benefits agri-business, rather than farmers. Envisioning farming as hyper-specialized converging only in a marketable product, misses critical aspects of knowledge and leads to consolidation of power and land inequality.shorturl.at/cfP36 The Conversation Canada

We should start with long distance trains that get people from A to B on time, affordably, and faster than driving. Montreal to Halifax should take about 10 hrs; it is currently scheduled VIA Rail Canada for 22.5. Toronto to Winnipeg should be about 17 hours; it is currently 34.

Happy to have my review of Dana James and Evan Bowness (he/him)' excellent book "Growing and eating sustainably: Agroecology in action" published in The Ten-Year Anniversary Issue of Canadian Food Studies alongside some wonderful food studies scholarship. canadianfoodstudies.uwaterloo.ca/index.php/cfs/…
