Policy Objective
Food Policy Instruments 👇
Remember: Policy instruments are the means by which governments can achieve the degrowth goals/objectives we urgently need!
1 - Dismantle chemical dependency and corporate control over farming 🚜
💡 Translation: Translation: Farming should work with nature, not against it.
🛑 Ban synthetic pesticides and fertilisers that degrade soil, poison water, and harm pollinators.
🌾 Establish farmer-led seed banks and strengthen protections for non-GMO, heirloom, and indigenous crop varieties.
💰 Redirect subsidies away from chemical-intensive agribusiness toward regenerative, organic, and agroecological practices.
🏛 Introduce strict regulations against GMO seed patents, ensuring that farmers retain control over their seeds instead of being forced into corporate dependency.
🥦 Expand research and public investment in natural pest management, crop diversification, and organic soil enrichment.
💥 The future of farming is chemical-free, GMO-free, and in the hands of communities—not agribusiness.
