The Food Commons model is a new
economic
paradigm
and whole system approach for regional food.
The Food Commons envisions a re-creation
of the local and
regional food systems that preceded the current global industrial food
systems, updated to reflect 21st-century advances in information
systems,
communications, community-based organizational and economic models, the
science and practice of sustainable agriculture and the changes in
culture and demand.
Join Larry Yee Co-founder and Coordinating Director for the Food
Commons
http://www.thefoodcommons.org/
as he talks about The Food
Commons a project dedicated to designing and developing both
local and national infrastructure within a whole systems approach and
new
economic paradigm for local/regional food.
A Good Food Economy is a part of the economy of a country at peace with
its neighbors and its environment - the air, the land, the water and
the
creatures living in, on and under it. It is the local embodiment of a
regional, national and international economy in which people have
useful
work to do at fair wages, affordable access to housing, health care,
education and a secure retirement.
In 2008, Larry retired from a 32-year career with the University of
California where he was the director of the Ventura County UC
Cooperative
Extension office and the UC Hansen Trust, which operated the UC Hansen
Agricultural Center.
