Great article with lots of source links for more information:

With the next Farm Bill, the Biden administration and Congress can build a food and farm system that:
Centers racial justice by confronting past discrimination and allocating resources to communities that have been historically underinvested;
Ends hunger by protecting and strengthening food assistance programs;
Meets the climate crisis head on by investing in research, technical assistance, and support to make farmers and ranchers more resilient and part of the climate solution;
Increases access to nutritious food and nutrition security;
Ensures safety and dignity for the 20 million food and farm workers that feed our nation through a living wage, access to health care, clean housing, the right to organize and join a union, protections from toxic pesticides and extreme heat, and access to citizenship;
Protects farmers and consumers by continuing to promote competition in the food and agriculture sectors; and
Ensures the safety of our food supply by addressing pathogens that originate on factory farms and to make the U.S. food supply safe for everyone.

And more info on the importance of soil health:

soil > plants > humans or soil > plants > animals > humans

Food is what our body and microbiome consume, and what we consume is what we are built from. So if nutrients are lacking or toxins are present in the soil, then that’s what is in our bodies too.

I’m trying out the Aerobin I got from Costco so we can create our own compost to grow some of our own food. I’ve also been mulching using the fallen leaves and needles in the yard and grabbing free wood for hugelkultur.
