There's a revolution that is happening in Canada. Not many people know about it yet but a lot of people are part of it.
The revolution is about as basic as you can get. It has to do with the way we grow and eat food and take care of ourselves. It has to do with the way we nourish and sustain ourselves as a nation.
The 2010 Olympics brought out a lot of pride and passion in Canadians, including myself. The Olympics got me thinking that Canada should be going for the gold in agriculture as well as in sports.
My intention in this article is to talk about some big steps that are already being taken in the direction of self-reliance and sustainability and to encourage you to join the team. I think that there is a real possibility that Canada one day soon will "own the podium" atop all other countries for best agricultural practices.
There's nary a word about this enthusiastic collaboration in the media. Nevertheless, it is happening in cities and towns across the country and it is growing so quickly that it's likely already spread to your very own neighbourhood. This movement is uniquely Canadian and multicultural. It is about as grass roots as you can get. There is no one leading it or funding it or trying to make money from it.
It's only in the past few years that this big change is gathering momentum. We've been bedazzled and boondoggled by industrial agriculture to the point that we've missed the most important work of all: keeping the "True North strong and free".
