While it's a wonderful notion to consider "regenerative farming" it's unrealistic when feeding such large populations. Not only would food become more expensive it would also be less abundant. The median age of farmers in Canada is 56 and getting older every year, young people are just not getting into/taking over farming and those who don't have a farm to take over with the help of family are faced with costs that are just too high to even consider the career. Productive, irrigated farm land is very expensive and the equipment well when you consider just a tractor is nearly a million dollars, a baler over $100,000, what you would need to charge just to make the interest payments is certainly beyond what people are willing to pay for their food.

The City of Calgary has come under fire after new data revealed it spends more on employee pensions than any other major Canadian city.
The data collected by SecondStreet.org and recently reported on by the Western Standard show a pension system of extremely generous retirement benefits for city workers.
According to the data, more than 2,500 city employees will collect two pensions upon retirement, while 126 belong to the so-called “triple pension club,” receiving three separate pensions — a base plan and two taxpayer-funded top-ups.
One of those top-ups, known as an “overcap pension,” is entirely funded by Calgary taxpayers.
Ward 13 Councillor Dan McLean has been pushing for answers about the overcap pension since he was sworn into office.
McLean claims the practice stretches back to former mayor Naheed Nenshi’s time in office....
From Alberta Parents:
Want to tell school board trustee candidates how they can earn your vote?
At the Alberta Parents’ Union, we always want to hear from you and amplify your voice on school board elections.
We are thrilled to announce today that we are partnering with a huge megaphone - outside the enormous and growing number of Albertans who receive our emails - to amplify your voice in a way that has never been possible before.
We’re hosting a trustee election focus group event with Elise Stolte, an engagement journalist with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation!
Have you ever been upset that you're not seeing voices like yours quoted by the CBC?
As an “engagement journalist” Elise works to close that gap and represent more voices in the coverage of the (overwhelmingly) largest media outlet in Alberta and Canada.
Elise is a K-12 parent herself, and we want her to be able to hear from normal, non-activist parents of school kids to inform the CBC's coverage - even if you're not quoted.
Everything she hears will be off the record, unless and ...
