Belo Horizonte offers a model for communities to solve hunger on a local level. It focuses on programs such as community and school gardens, fresh food delivered to poorer neighborhoods, and linking hospitals, restaurants, and other big buyers to local organic growers.
Don't be fooled by the term "Green Revolution." It harms people, plants, animals, and the environment in order to enhance the profits of a few. Humanity and nature are currently on a collision course, which the "Green Revolution" hastens. We need to work to restore natural harmony and the balance of nature, rather than extract more of its gifts for human consumption. Everything labeled "green" and all "revolutions" are not necessarily helpful for people or nature.
