Who Controls Your Food… and Your Voice? The Rise of the Precautionary State

This is a very interesting read and everyone needs to know what is being planned for us as Canadians. Most of our cities in this Region are C40 cities so the last page of this article lays out how we will live in the future. Is this the way that we want to live? Who decided that this is the way Canadians will live in the future? This author is Canadian and has done extensive research in this area. This is not only the future plans for us but many of these actions have and are happening in Canada right now. We need to raise our voices if we are not in favour of all or any of these actions. She ended the article with these questions. -1."Who is deciding what the future of food should look like and how much say do ordinary citizens have in that decision?" 2. Is the food system simply adapting to environmental pressures.... or is it being actively redesigned?"
