Why Vancouver Island food security?

Why should I pay attention to food security? Store shelves are always full of food and things. In reality, many factors may suddenly confuse the food supply and not reach Vancouver Island.

The state of the world is unstable in various points such as environment, climate change, resource shortage, financial crisis, and war. Even if we face the given variables and combinations, we still need to eat. Otherwise you will face the same fate as thousands of people die every day in Third World countries due to food shortages.

It is worth repeating that Vancouver Island imports 95% of food. Disasters will empty store shelves within 3 days. Due to earthquakes and sea level rise, airports and ferries may be unusable. How is that?

Because it is no longer a hobby or cure, it is a matter of survival, so interest in gardening will peak, but for those who are not growing it is too late to avoid hunger - this is a disaster method New This is not a panic, as Orleans is preparing for a hurricane and not afraid of roar.

We always want that nothing can confuse the present situation in our lives, but it seems unlikely everyday, so adequate food supply is a matter of any community emergency planning It must be a part.

We were told to store adequate food, water and supplies for three days, but how is that? We need long-term strategies and plans. To make the system growing throughout the year available anywhere, to plant the food, and to keep small animals in all available land.

Planting food will be a year-long effort and technology making this reality a very high demand

Humans and animals are taking modified foods with uncertain results. This does not require labels in particular, so this worries many people, so intake is not voluntary.

Agribusiness introduced many chemical fertilizers for land and food supply. And that has an undefined effect on the health of the fossil community. Air is polluted by many chemicals that may affect outdoor plants.

The cost of food is rising steadily and many families are faced with the purchase and consumption of highly processed, less healthy foods. Some families refill the garden, but mainly depend on foods purchased in winter and spring.

In addition to cultivating vegetables, cereals and fruits, another important part of food security includes livestock.

At present Vancouver Island only produces about 4% of food. During the summer months, you can eat fresh foods on the island for only 3 days. As fuel costs rise and climate change and the ongoing recession are threatened, the islanders have to concentrate on local farmers and start supporting their initiatives.

Recently, many projects are beginning to help restore and increase the population of Marmot in Vancouver Island. One of the programs to support the reconstruction and protection of the Vancouver Island Groundhog is a breeding breeding program aimed at increasing the number of Woodchuck populations to 400 to 600 in the next 5 years. In the People Groundhog recovery plan, we transferred the captured groundhog to the wild and transferred the groundhog from the plain to the meadow, which was a great success. A group of scientists was recruited by the UK Convention Group. The Ministry of the Environment has established an association called Vancouver Island Groundhog Restoration Team. The groundhog recovery team in Vancouver Island is played by a government that is trying to regain the endangered Vancouver Island ground hog

The ground hog of Vancouver Island is only on the high mountain of Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Groundhog is the biggest member of the squirrel family and they like to live in the caves. It is one of the most unusual animals in the world, but for preservation activities, there are now around 250-300 living in 28 mountains. Groundhog is absolutely herbivorous who eats with 30 edible plants. From late September to late April or early May, they hibernate about 210 days a year. This particular marmot is large compared to other groundhogs, and three other marmots were found in Canada. Pulsatilla groundhog in BC, the yellow belly marmot in the meadow of the BC, and ordinary marmot or marmot in the bottom valley of North America.
