Brian talked to us about small scale agriculture in northern Manitoba and the importance of focusing on the process rather than the end goal

That’s something I’m currently working on: What does a healthy relationship look like with a food system and how can I encourage that kind of building or reassessing within people. It’s always easier with youth because they don’t have these established relationships with gardening, they’re being introduced.
Listen to our conversation:
The generations upcoming are very important in making change because as an individual I don’t have a lot of sway […] whereas if a group was doing it or a community was doing it, so much more momentum can be built.
