Is this whole debate really going to go around in exactly the same circles that
I think that I have seen twice in the 3 or so years I have been on SANET?

How about we try looking at asking the right questions instead of playing with
semantics?

Are the following our target:

Public access to healthy food at an affordable price?

An increased return to growers and processors?

A regeneration of rural communities?

The regeneration of the resource base of land, water and air?

If so then perhaps we should follow Freudenberger and push for the name
Regenerative Food Production to cover the activities mentioned above.

Let's try playing the game on a new pitch.
