April 25 at 7:22 PMFarmers are a large community that is affected by environmental degradation and irresponsibility. These actions increase climate change, which leads to extreme weather conditions such as floods and droughts that greatly damage crops and their form of livelihood.

April 23 at 2:11 PMFood sovereignty ensures the appropriate ecological, social, economical, and cultural framework is met.

April 23 at 9:40 AMI really appreciate that the reflection questions are more so prompts to make me think more about the topic, rather than open ended questions about how an action made me feel. They have allowed me to further develop my understandings and form stronger opinions than if I were simply checking off actions.

In...
-
April 23 at 8:40 AMI think I do experience it in a different way, but not by much. Walking helps me to feel more a part of my community as I'm more interactive with it than being in a car on the road, but I am pretty observant and appreciative of the people, places, and things that I pass while driving.
