From subsistence farming to industrial farming
• SF: Growing crops and animals to feed your family and maybe sell a little
• IF: Growing crops and animals in large amounts to sell. Use of fertilizer and pesticides, antibiotics in cattle, made this mode of farming possible.
• Processing food allows for a longer shelf life.• Transportation routes make it possible to send
food large distances away from where it is produced to sell.

social, cultural, and physical environment conspire against such
change.”

Statewide Food Policy
• Ban on sodas in schools• Listing calories on menus• Rules for “organic” food• Nutrition standards for school lunches• Regulation of how food is produced
(pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics used)

Federal Food Policy
• Subsidies for certain crops (corn but not fruit)• Food transportation • Food imports• Regulation of industrial agriculture• Tax structure• Nutritional standards for food marketed to
children
![Page 58: Change Food Policy, Change the World](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062903/58ed9ef41a28abda168b46f5/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
How You Can Affect Food Policy
• Speak at public meetings on issues you care about:– Planning commissions– Board of Supervisors, City Councils
• Join a group that advocates for what is important to you
• Support candidates that agree with your views• Vote• Run for school board, planning commission, etc
![Page 59: Change Food Policy, Change the World](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062903/58ed9ef41a28abda168b46f5/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Some Next Steps In Public Policy Enforce quality PE in schools K-12 Ensure access to fresh/healthy products in low
income neighborhoods and workplaces Design communities to promote activity Eliminate advertising of junk food to children Provide health plan benefits: nutrition education,
counseling, weight-loss Promote breastfeeding, eliminate hospital
marketing of formula.
