What You Can Do

Raise your voice about food, farming and climate change!

Our global food system serves neither the planet nor most of the people who live on it. It leaves behind a huge footprint, damages ecosystems, threatens the planet’s biodiversity, and isn’t serving the people who grow most of the world’s food today: small scale farmers.

Now, more than ever, we need to urge our leaders here in Canada and around the world to help build a better vision and plan of action that works for people all over the world. Have your voice heard as, over the next few months, leaders make crucial decisions about the future of our food and our planet.

Small scale farmers feed the world but are the most vulnerable to climate change.

  1. Learn about and Speak Out on how we can help small-scale farmers cool down the planet.
  2. Learn more about climate change and agriculture

Through the many choices we make every day, we can influence changes taking place at home and around the globe. Here are some things you can start doing today:

  1. Buy locally produced food whenever you can: Your support for local agriculture and rural economies is a first step in restoring balance to the food system.
  2. Consider where your food comes from: Help restore our connection to farmers who steward the land and grow healthy food all over the world.
  3. Support small farmers in the global South: They‘re on the front lines of climate change and global market practices that threaten their rights and ability to grow their own food. Donate to USC Canada today.
