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/>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.
