    Perhaps a good way to Grow Good Food in Ontario would be for the McGinty government to support Ontario Farmers. We are just about regulated out of business, as many abbatoirs have been. Farmers don't stand a chance in this province. We receive no financial programs, there are more and more rules and regulations, ie Water Source Protection, Endangered Species List, GREENBELTS etc. etc. etc. This government is doing everything possible to put farmers out of business and to regulate all rural residents into urban areas. Want food? Help the farmers!

    I'm trying to switch from a career in advertising to a career in sustainable and local food advocacy. I have no idea where to start other than I have been committed to this philosophy for many years and know there is a place for someone with my skills in this movement – looking for suggestions from anywhere and anyone.
