In order for children to take over farming from their parents, government must develop taxation and lending policies that reduce the economic risk of such transfers. Women must have a greater voice and role in all levels of the food system. Federal and provincial governments should immediately make available money to pay for the cost of rural daycare. Every nation has the right and responsibility to independently define its own agricultural policies which are in the best interests of its farmers and consumers. Every nation is entitled to formulate and enforce standards in food safety, health, nutrition, and cultural and environmental protection.
Nations have the right to undertake measures to improve the market position of farmers.
Farmers, the public, and governments must work to understand the economic, social, and ecological implications of a global trade in food and to disseminate that understanding. Trade should increase the happiness, security, and wealth of individuals and protect the environment. All government research money should go toward alternative, sustainable, organic, or chemical-alternative agriculture. Chemical agriculture research is already well-funded by large transnational chemical and fertilizer companies. As the farmers expertise in those practices die, those techniques are lost.
