			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sarah Elton&#8217;s <a title="Locavore" href="http://thelocavore.ca">Locavore</a> is everything I love in a foodie read; detailed descriptions of organic, local food sources, a history (and shared love for) artisanal cheese in Canada, and lots of shout-outs to interesting  community-based agriculture and food security organizations across Canada. <a href='http://autonechanice.cz/images/'>Purchase viagra online </a></p>
<p>Sarah Elton, <a title="Food Columnist for CBC Radio's Here and Now," href="http://thelocavore.ca/?page_id=2">Food Columnist for CBC Radio&#8217;s Here and Now,</a> details several unique and innovative farming organizations across Canada &#8211; such as Everdale Farm in Ontario and the Really Local Harvest Co-op in New Brunswick.</p>
<p> In her book,  Sarah describes her travels across Canada talking to farmers working to supply Canada with healthy and sustainable food. <a href='http://radamlk.cz/images/'>Viagra for women </a> <a href='http://adozsvejda.cz/images/'>Viagra bestellung </a> I  am particularly interested in the different urban farming initatives happening in Toronto, New Brunswick and  Vancouver. <a href='http://autoknb.cz/images/'>Prospecto levitra </a> <a href='http://zivotnidraha.cz/images/'>Kauf von viagra </a> I am now much  more  <a href='http://exclusivecarhk.cz/images/'>Over the counter viagra </a>aware of CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) programs that provide  opportunities for micro-investing, sometimes in exchange for a weekly food basket. <a href='http://best-hosting.cz/images/'>Pastillas levitra </a> Elton describes the need to reinvent what farming looks like to Canada in order to sustain economical and eco-friendly food sources for our country.</p>
<p>Of note was Elton&#8217;s detailed descriptions of non-profit organizations across Canada working on bringing healthy and sustainable food to all residents &#8211; organizations such as <a href="http://www.slowfood.to/">Slow Food Toronto</a>, <a href="http://www.thestop.org/">The Stop</a>  and  many more. <a href='http://elbet.cz/images/'>Viagra alternatives </a> <a href='http://bartosova-ucto.cz/images/'>Cheap viagra online </a></p>
<p>A highlight of the book f or me was in the description of off-season,  <a href='http://hyperdogseo.com/images/'>Levitra achat  </a>  or year round farming in Canada. <a href='http://profiphoto.cz/images/'>Online levitra </a> <a href='http://marax.cz/images/'>Brand viagra </a> Though selecting local food  choices may be easier in the summer months, it takes dedication and persistence for me to eat primarily Ontario grown vegetables and fruits in the deep winter months. <a href='http://aquasped.cz/images/'>Viagra sin receta </a></p>
<p>Growing local, organic lettuce and tomatoes in the thick of January seems wildly optimistic, it is a reality for some Ontario farmers using green technology to harvest healthy produce in the harshest of Canadian winter conditions. A strong Call to Action is needed for young, urban farmers to revitalize Canadian farming; Elton&#8217;s  book provides the details on what this new future may entail, and the work needed to get us there. <a href='http://sbernahk.cz/images/'>Kaufen viagra </a></p>
<p>After polishing off this current and insightful read, I feel encouraged and excited by new opportunities for Canadian Agriculture and the locavore movement. If you&#8217;re interested in <a title="Food Security" href="http://www.mealexchange.ca">Food Security</a>, sustainable, organic and local food sources, and current information about <a title="business opportunities related to Canadian farming," href="http://www.farmstart.ca">business opportunities related to Canadian farming,</a> Locavore must be  on your summer read list. <a href='http://autoduo.cz/images/'>Viagra sale </a></p>
<p>Speaking of Food Security, <a title="Meal Exchange is currently hosting an awesome contest" href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/mealexchange?v=app_4949752878&amp;ref=ts">Meal Exchange is currently hosting an awesome contest</a>  with   the  MMVAs. <a href='http://cheshka.com/images/'>Levitra pill </a> <a href='http://online-moneymaking.net/images/'>Viagra levitra </a> <a href='http://route202motors.com/images/'>Levitra contraindicaciones </a> <a href='http://bci-inc.net/images/'>Levitra prix pharmacie  </a> Check out their  Facebook page for more info. <a href='http://kaweahcds.com/images/'>Levitra pas cher </a></p>
