At a recent Nature Vancouver event Damien Gillis discussed the proposed doubling of Deltaport and conversion of prime farmland, fish and wildlife habitat into an industrialized Foreign Trade Zone - disputing the myth advanced by the Port Authority's CEO that farmland has little economic or food security value for the Lower Mainland. "The real question here is: 'Whose Economy? Whose Benefit? And what kind of a future do we want to have?'"
I want to see an increase of farmers markets and salad bars that sell B.C. products. Wild pacific salmon, B.C. apples, Okanagan peaches, locally grown produce, etc...
When I get hungary for something to eat, I don't want fast food burgers and fries, Chinese food, tacos, or pizzas. I would rather buy something locally grown to eat. Health food. I mean this as everyday restaurant food. I want this to be more available.
