We should absolutely move as much as we can into greenhouse production. We already do this with hot house tomatoes. And it's easy to transition into other different forms of produce, especially greens.

It saves on land, it cuts the use of pesticides and fertilizers, it reduces the chance of foodborne illness, and maintains secure food production throughout every season. It's quite literally a no-brainer, we just have to invest.

We should also promote yard gardening. Some citites try to restrict citizens from planting veg. We had a townhome with less that 10 x10 area. We planted lots of herbs, greens, tomatoes and carrots. It meant we very rarely had to go get those items during the summer and fall. It does not have to be an all or nothing solution for sustaining food supply

It attracts bears and this is dangerous to both bears and humans. Bears get killed just for foraging. It’s not even political so it’s weird how it even went there. You live in Canada. There are bears here.

Zoning laws. Some cities started to listen to advocates and allowed veg and chickens in yards for personal use

No. Ffs. It’s bears. You live in Canada. This is a reality there are bears here. Not everything is frigging politics and capitalism.
