For the past few years we have faced fires, loss of power, evacuation, more fires, and now pandemic.  There is every reason to expect more crises in the future.  How do we prepare?  We strengthen our neighborhoods, our communities, our County.  Food security is basic.  Currently, complex supply chains, insufficient local food processors, a lack of farm diversity, and inequality of access to healthy food and remuneration of food workers stand in the way of strengthening our food security.
