This is complicated and it’s hard to summarize, but here’s what I think we all should do:

1. Support small farms by shopping at farmer’s markets and/or buying direct. I know it’s not always easy to pay the (sometimes) higher cost but know that your money is going to families and fair wages, not corporations. Small farms often do depend on illegal workers but the more you buy from them the better the chance they’ll be able to cover their absence or even get them on visas. And - pro tip - there are ways to reduce the costs**
2. Wherever possible, plant your own gardens. Do this collectively to maximize yield for any one individual’s effort. Take over unused urban spaces and or find or found community gardens if you don’t have space.
3. Let the leopards feast

** 1. Buying direct means a shorter supply chain and thus much fresher produce which is nutritionally denser and lasts longer 2. Buy only what’s in season and what farms have more of - they will usually discount 3. Make friends with farms and/or volunteer some time and you will be blessed with free veggies 4. Go right at the end of market and ask for anything vendors want to get rid of - there are almost always things that won’t keep and which they’ll sell for much less or even give away.
