Why Voting With Your Food Dollars Doesn't Work

User Comments

Tom Ballard, ND commented on 01 Sep 2014

Great to expand peoples thinking about this issue while supporting the organic movement. Voting with your food dollars has both a micro and macro component. Yes, buy from your local organic farmer is basic micro level. Next level up is maybe helping organize your community into supporting local farmers. In King County (Seattle area) there is a wealth of local neighborhood farmer's markets that are assisted by the county government that helps maintain and publicize these markets that rotate days of the week through different neighborhoods. Skipping up to the macro level, our federal tax dollars are used to subsidize chemical farming and the destruction of our farmland. Is that how you want your tax dollars spent? This is where talking to politicians, public initiatives, and other political actions need to step up. Of course, the bottom line is stopping the politician-for-hire system that runs our country now. s Money runs our farming (and medical) systems now and the deepest pockets are the chemical companies. Why are they so big? Because they're subsidized by tax dollars. On a level playing field farming would be organic and medicine would be whole-system. Best, Tom Ballard, ND Seattle

Danice G commented on 03 Aug 2013

I completely understand where you are coming from with this but.....if voting with your food dollars doesn't work, then why is it that we are seeing an increase in organic and non gmo products that are being offered in the general grocery stores? Within the last 6 months, the selection has boomed and there are non gmo labels on numerous amouts of things that I had never noticed before. I know you might not notice since you probably shop the whole foods market more frequently than anything else.

WeightLossExposure commented on 11 Aug 2013

Some excellent points, Sean. I agree that we are all guilty of getting complacent in our thinking that just because we spend our money buying organic food, we are doing enough to help the world move away of commercial agricultural practices. It is obviously encouraging that people are choosing to spend their money on real food, but more needs to be done. Perhaps some kind of community farming scheme, where people are encouraged to work together to produce (at least in part) their own food...

Bob Bobage commented on 06 Aug 2013

You're not going to find that concise, valuable information, unless you learn to google it. You don't have to buy a single book or read every website- just learn to use a search engine to find the information you're looking for. It takes minutes to do, and just like going to the library, you will need to do it often if you want to ever master any one thing whether it's this or carpentry, or business etc. Don't give up just because of the volume of information to absorb and sources to find it.

Bryan Krueger commented on 07 Aug 2013

To all of you wanting to get started at home and in your community. Look to examples found in Detroit, Cuba, Curitiba Brazil, San Francisco, and other urban areas that have gone through peak oil or have been experimenting with urban farming for years. Look for a study group in your town, sustainable ag, permaculture, organic gardening. Read a book like Toby Hemenway's Gaia's Garden! Above all, talk to your neighbors, form community that is meaningful to you, and get you hands in the soil!

Carina G commented on 19 Aug 2013

We all need to do our part, "Be the change you want to see in the world!" You know those bulletin boards that you see in entrances of trendy hipster coffee shops, health food stores, etc? I would totally print off a bunch of educational flyers to spread the word and leave those tear-away bits with a URL to an educational site. Hipsters would be all over that! Let's increase the market for it within our communities to support the movement back to nature. That's one idea from this introvert.

jonvee commented on 03 Aug 2013

Great points Sean, the issue with organic farming is that it takes too long for the soil to heal, organic inputs costs too much & they till the soil.. Highly recommend researching Korean Natural Farming (not to be confused with Fukuoka - Do Nothing) we've been using a similar style in the Philippines to help low income farmers transition very successfully. I don't see why the US can't implement simple techniques that are working over there. Janong Natural Farming Research Institute

functionalpatterns commented on 04 Aug 2013

Yo Shaun, watch zeitgeist addendum. If you want to explain why voting with your dollars won't work, it's as simple as understanding that working within a monetary paradigm already yields corruption. ROI is the name of the game in business and if it costs too much to plant, it's likely someone else will cut corners and factory farm food. It's an intrinsic fuckup of our entire profit before people based system. zeitgeist addendum, watch it and clarity will come true if you want it.

Bryan Krueger commented on 07 Aug 2013

Great overview of challenges that Organic and newly-Organic farmers face! I would really love to know; what are your recommendations? The average age of farmer's in the USA today is around 55! Organic or not, this country is running out of farmers. We should be wise to learn permaculture and other small-scale, "sustainable" food-production methods, as well as to learn to eat and use for medicine, plants that we used to have relationships with many generations ago. It's up to us!

gnomad007tv commented on 18 Aug 2013

Great points you made, lots more to think about. Like you said there is no one simple solution. We've got to work at several levels; from talking to friends and neighbors, to being more aware of laws being passed and how to participate in the political process that affects all of this, to working locally where I think is most accessible to most of us, to educating our children about farms and taking them out to where our food is grown, and planting a few of your own things.

rayvanderw commented on 10 Oct 2013

As it takes time for conventional growers to transition to organic, it also takes the public time to transition to buying locally grown and/ or organic foods. It is a process, and encouraging people against "voting with your food dollars" seems unproductive to me. A great way to be supportive is to buy transitional goods. Additionally, buying locally grown produce rather than organic really is the way to go! However, the hope would be that it could be both.

Button Butterbee commented on 21 Oct 2013

When a farm considers transitioning, the best place to look for support could be their own communities. Asking the communities to invest in them during this transition period in exchange for CSA shares after the transition is complete, they can sell the legumes to feed lots or to their CSA shareholders, etc. The solution is to look outside the box. As Einstein said, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."

Joseph1NJ commented on 05 Aug 2013

One idea might to join together nationally, begin to fund the organization, and do what the agro-Corps do, start lobbying the Feds for their share of the farm subsidies. Start a national PR campaign, solicit funding, donations, etc. Sure, its a David & Goliath fight, but organic/ non GMO consumer demand is growing very fast. Even the big guys know this, and are moving in that direction. Kashi owned by Kellogg is one example.

Vince F commented on 08 Aug 2013

There is no rule that a farm has to be 100% organic. An independent farm can transition partial acreage and ramp to organics or any balance they desire. You correctly state 4.2% of sales being organic, but if consumers increased "voting" with their dollars that number would rise in relation to dollars spent. When small sectors of a market increase in overall share, production will notice and follow your voting dollars.

calskin commented on 11 Sep 2013

Hey Sean, I love this topic as I'm a huge proponent of permaculture. Permaculture is a lifestyle which follows ethics of earth care, people care, fair share and transition. It's focus is often on growing extremely healthy soil through poly-cultures and companion planting as well as focusing on perennials. All of this is also with the goal of making a closed loop system (a farm which doesn't require outside resources).

Bob Bobage commented on 06 Aug 2013

What's that? You don't want want to look things up and come to your own conclusions? You'd rather have it spoon fed to you and buy it or deny it at face value? You're too lazy to take 20 minutes now and then to read the wealth of free information out there and educate yourself? No wonder you have no idea where to start. That's step 1 and if you can't do that most basic, simple, and easy step then you're screwed.

calskin commented on 11 Sep 2013

A great option are CSAs or Community Supported Agriculture. That's where a farmer (not always organic however) sells a share of his/her crop. This way, you can call the farmer and ask questions, they often encourage you to come and visit and help out on the farm. This method carries a slight risk because if the crop is bad, your share won't be as much, however people who do it are often more than happy.

Glenda Moore commented on 03 Aug 2013

Everyone donates a certain portion of their income, right? Having an website with a database of transitioning farms--and fully organic farms, too, of course--then being able to donate to those farms via that website, either individual farms or as a group. I make my donations via the "Network for Good" website; wonder if they & other such donation websites would include transitioning farms?...

AllTheOtherSide commented on 17 Aug 2013

The bad thing about buying natural or organic is that the same companies that produce bad, gmo, artificial, or processed foods also own many of the organic brands. General mills owns larabar, cascadian farm, muir glen organics, coca cola owns odwalla, etc., so in supporting some brands you're actually supporting ads for tons of "non" food and frankenfoods.

Vince F commented on 08 Aug 2013

Nice idea generating topic. The financial mantra of voting with your dollars still holds true. You mentioned it too, time! While the current market cycle may not be conducive to farmers taking risks, eventually every market will turn around. When that happens and farmers look to expand and they see organics doing well they will follow suit. More...

alexl53 commented on 03 Aug 2013

Idea - Transition subsidies for large-scale conventionals to subsidies for smaller-scale farms that want to make a transition over to organic farming. There could be an application process for this, a review, and then an approval for the subsidy to help them make that transition. Kind of like a college loan...but for farming.

calskin commented on 11 Sep 2013

I saw it mentioned that sometimes people use organic practices but don't have the certification. This is totally true and is often the case for permaculture farmers, however if you get to know the farmer and get to understand the ethics behind their product, you don't need a certification to understand what you're eating.

DLSmith92056 commented on 04 Aug 2013

Check out Polyface Farms (Polyface, Inc.) and his Salead Bar Beef as a way to make a profit during the transition into organic. He uses cows to graze the legumes and further fertilize the soil. You are right, though. It is a huge paradigm shift and almost requires reeducation. Thanks for this video. It makes me think.

2snipe1 commented on 03 Aug 2013

Sean, if Soy beans are legumes, can't organic farms get a hold of seeds that are non GMO and start selling them to companies who want to buy non-GMO soy milk? Perhaps Starbucks would be able to back this to start. Sure a latte would be $6 now, but that's not going to stop people from wanting non-GMO soy milk lattes!

bellydanza85 commented on 03 Aug 2013

Great work Sean, as always! I think every purchase is a political act and therefore we must continue to buy organic food HOWEVER, only if it is local, uses minimal packaging, and is not owned by some foul corporate parent company (there's a useful chart in the book 'Grub' by Anna Lappe and Bryant Terry).

Bob Bobage commented on 05 Aug 2013

I eat legumes. I also don't assume that it's easy or cheap to switch from conventional farming to organic. I assume that conventional farmers will lose money, and have to sell their farms to ConAgra, who will also lose money while new organic farms are started from scratch and the organic market booms.
