Food security. Sure. Where I live, that means three scraggly plantains in a backyard and a goat that eats better than I do. Meanwhile the shelves stay stacked with somebody else’s rice. One day of speeches, one photo of a farmer holding a basket, then back to business. Local production needs water, roads and a market — not a calendar slot. Cute ceremony, though.
