RE: Rotten (series) : Who would have thought food could be so evil?
We need to encourage local farmers to be more empowered and able to produce good crops. The government needs to push regulations that support local agriculture. We do not want to be importers of agricultural products abroad on the basis of lower prices. we are often ignorant of farmers' incomes. They suffer more from an abundance of imported products, so they lose income despite abundant harvests.
what often happens is that during the harvest the price drops and farmers need to cover the huge production costs.
If all support the farmers will enjoy good results. Give help by buying local products.
over here in South East Asia, local markets from local farmers are far more popular than supermarket produce sections. I don't know if this means that the stuff at the local markets is better or not, but i do like the idea of helping the little guy. I don't know how they make their stuff like whether or not they use a lot of pesticides and what not and to be honest with you I don't really care.
I just like the idea of helping the little guys.
