Recreating food systems

— By Dave Sloan/The Lawrence Juice

All We Can Save

Among the many problems the world faces today is the issue of

The Power of Food Sovereignty

food security. Food security is the idea that all people, at all times, should have physical and economic access to good, nutrient rich food. Here in Lawrence, Kansas, there are many families that face the choice between eating or paying rent. And on top of that their choices of food are limited due to different circumstances i.e., living in a food dessert and not having reliable transportation.

In Lawrence there are several groups that are trying to help these families, Just Food, Food Not Bombs, and a newer group called Lawrence Freedgin Kansas. These and oth‐ ers work tirelessly to provide needed food and commodities to those in need. The peo‐ ple of Lawrence are very generous in their support, yet still it is a struggle, especially now, when the cost of food is rising with inflation.

Pantaleon Flores is working towards a solution to food insecurity. He is a local farmer and cook, and food advocate, who is rethinking the ways of how food is grown and distributed. “I personally believe that food shouldn’t be something necessarily even sold and that we should be working for a system that creates food as a public work and in doing so, as a public work, it would be carried democratically and done according to land management practices by region.

In a recent presentation to the county and the city of Lawrence, entitled “The Peo‐ ple’s Century Farm Report”, he is calling to establish a Department of Food Security. In his report he shows how a program employing 12 to 15 people at a more than living wage could produce 5 million dollars in food with around a million dollars of invest‐ ment and furthermore that food would stay in the region it is grown in, thus alleviating the monetization and capitalization of its pre-market handling and final distribution.

If this is done as a public works program, that food would go directly to groups such as Just Food directly. No middleman. No long distance trucking. The food would be grown locally, organically, and sustainable, reducing and eliminating both carbon fuels and nitrogen-based fertilizers. “We need to be delivering way more nutrient based foods to the people who really, really need it,” Flores declared. “If we want this to make this sustainable, we have to start thinking about human beings, and what we really value.

And then act ac‐ cordingly as we realize how the land is respond‐ ing to our very, very long mis‐ treatment.”

Panta explains how food is ‘hy‐ per-commodi‐ tized’. The USDA has de‐ fined food desserts as areas where people have limited ac‐ cess to a variety of healthy and af‐ Panta holds up a leaf of Epazote, a brightPhoto and light tasting herb

“We have a food system that is set up very intentionally and working extremely well, and it’s not great.”

He wants to remove the layer of hyper-commoditization that that is so prevalent. “That’s really what food security work is, because there is also a delineation between food security and food sovereignty. It’s kind of a progression – you need people to have food security before they can be food sovereign, and make sure they have everything they need to be a human being and alive and healthy.”

He envisions a path for this to happen with the help of the government and civic or‐ ganizations. “Wouldn’t it be amazing if food, even prepared, would be free and every‐ body had access to it,” he wonders. As he realizes how ‘dreamy and wonderful’ that sounds, he faces the practical problems right now. “I’m focusing on the hungry people we know exist here in Douglas County, and it’s not just a few.”

In many cases the ‘non-profit industrial complex’, as he labels it, or NGO’s actually sustains themselves off of the very thing they are trying to address and help, whether in‐ tentionally or unintentionally. He feels like this plan, at the heart of it, could be an exit plan, where no one would ever have to face the threat of food shortages again. Once the goals are reached, and the project would find a natural end.

He envisions that people involved with the program are the farmers themselves. “I believe there have too many project managers standing between the farmers and their ability to organize themselves in ways that are conducive to farming.” He has seen too many times how food hubs seem to falter at having too many people organizing and cre‐ ating logistics and plans which become unsustainable and, “the farmer takes a backseat, almost.”

Another aspect he addresses in his plan is to re-professionalize farming. He wants to create a system that cares about the farmers and lets them be experts in their fields, whether they grow vegetables, tend orchards, or even keep herds, but also as scientists who combat climate change with their practices.

“We have people who need to be fed. We have land that needs to be stewarded,” Flo‐ res concludes.

A Virtual Event - Featuring Leah Penniman (Li*/ Ya/She/He), Co-Director and Farm Manager at Soul Fire Farm, with over 20 years of experience as a soil steward and food sovereignty activist, showcasing the book All We Can Save: Truth, Courage, and Solutions for the Climate Crisis, edited by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson & Katharine K.
