COMMON SENSE
FROM A FARMER ON
FOOD SAFETY LEGISLATION

The alternative to freeing up the local food system will be increased (perhaps, crippling) complexity in the safety laws which are being developed. The drum-beat of national food recalls suggests that the problems exist in the industrial system. Greater nutrition and quality in local foods raised organically from healthy soils suggest that the solutions may well exist in the local food system. We must be free to access foods of our choice at an accessible price. Attempting to draft detailed provisions which address the radically different scales of big and small farms with their very different needs will at best lead to frustration and delay, and at worst will lead to a results, oppressive in the extreme, where the smalls are outgunned by the bigs.
