Swidden agriculture also known as slash-and-burn is depicted in a negative light because of myths that has been created from people who are not familiar with its practice or do not understands its purpose. One of the narrative is that it creates a useless and unsustainable land. This could be easily misunderstood as the image of the land after being burned can be seen lifeless and barren. People tend to associate a fertile land with lush greens with the sun in the background and not the image of swidden agriculture. Furthermore, media portrayal of wildfire only puts the idea that wildfire are harmful and should be put out which only makes swidden agriculture seem destructive.

There are proposals for plans of action to address this pressing and complicated issue. Current initiatives being discussed in congress focus on creating programs that are economically feasible for larger-scale grocers to move to lesser economically desirable locations at federal level.3 These initiatives entail creating incentivized programs for large grocery companies as a possible solution to combat unequal access to healthy food options in urban and rural communities.3 However, instead the focus should instead shift to local businesses and convenience stores due to their ability to make changes without hurdling the complications of federal law. Providing incentives to local businesses and convenience stores to provide locally grown fruits and vegetables in their stores will yield greater access to fresh produce at an affordable cost to community members. These initiatives to support local food retailers would be achieved through subsidizing local grocers or providing tax relief to areas designated as food desert locations via GIS mapping software.1,3
In the video “Farmland,” there were six farmers that took their own roles in each of their farms. They each had interesting chores and responsibilities for their farming business. The video showed the importance of living on a farm and knowing what it is like because most Americans have never been on a farm or a ranch or even know what takes place with farming occupations. The public perceptions created from this are many times incorrect, causing many wrong assumptions in the public. As we watched the video, we noticed a variety of occupations for each of the farmers throughout the agriculture business.

Unfortunately, in this day and age, humans often neglect the importance of protecting the habitat of species. This farm has the opportunity to promote and educate the public on the unique species that it is home to, as well as other species in the Okanagan region. I propose that moving forward the farm should focus on the wonderful educational opportunities their establishment provides and cultivate a new generation of eco-aware students. The farm currently has a board explaining the gestation period of wallabies, and the staff proved to be knowledgeable and friendly, should you ask them a question, but it has the ability to grow substantially. I envision a future where the farm hands out pamphlets on arrival, educating visitors on the species it holds, and well as a Red Listed species in the Okanagan.
