They Cut the Money, But They Won’t Cut Us Off.
The federal government just yanked funding that kept farmers growing food for food pantries. It’s a deliberate move in a long game of control.
We’re not playing that game.
If they want to cut the money, then cut the red tape that keeps us from running a decentralized, thriving food economy without government interference.
The Strategy Forward
? Strengthen Food Co-ops Farmers already in co-ops know the deal—that’s why they join & form coops. Now we need to connect them globally and increase the bottom line for every independent farmer in the network.
? Reclaim & Revitalize Ancient Agriculture!!! Industrial Ag is dead!! It destroys soil, weakens plants, and produces nutritionally empty food. We need to merge ancient agricultural wisdom with modern tech to restore soil health, water efficiency, and real nutrient density in food.
? Build Local Processing & Distribution Too much food goes to waste because there’s nowhere to process and store it. Let’s create small-scale dehydration hubs, fermentation stations, and bulk storage facilities to keep food moving locally and internationally.
? Launch an International Food Sovereignty Summit We need global alignment with food producers and organizers in Africa, Latin America, the U.S., and beyond. A coordinated food economy will break the system they’re using to starve us into submission.
? Public Awareness Campaign: Real Food or Starvation? Most people don’t even know they’re nutritionally starving because food education was stripped from schools. We need a massive campaign to restore home economics, traditional food skills, and real nutrition knowledge.
Bottom Line: The System Has Failed. We Won’t.
We don’t need federal funds to feed ourselves—we need organization, coordination, and funding from our own networks.
We need farmers, organizers, policymakers, and funders who see what’s coming and are ready to move.
