We called this The Corn Field of Dreams. I found the responses that people wrote very moving and occasionally hilarious. Here they are.
MY DREAM FOR THE FUTURE OF FOOD IS:
- A food system that respects all life – both human and more than human
- Stability. No one goes hungry.
- That all food will be chemical free and completely organic.
- Sustainability, less abuse of animals, more nutrition, less cutting corners, food is the basis of everything; we need to solve our food problems to solve all our problems.
- A whole diet, community supported agriculture system.
- To grow my own food, all year round, by way of garden and greenhouse. And to prepare all my own and my family’s food, without need to purchase prepared foods.
- Millions of small farmers, homesteaders, backyard gardeners.
- The end of Walmart and the fair compensation for the hard work of farmers.
- Grow my own.
- To be able to afford food.
- Loootsss of Chinese (x 2! I assume they mean Chinese food?)
- A garden for every home
- Everyone growing their own goodness!
- The onion recognized as the true hero it is.
- ?
- (little kid scribbles)
- No chemicals, no preservatives, all natural, only will (?) what you immediately need.
- Slot machine spitting out delicious wheels of stinky orange cheese.
- People able to grow enough good food for all. Real food. Not no-till genetically modified crops.
- Sustainability, local organic food, enough for all.
- One pill that provides all nutrition.
- That all will have enough to eat their fill and reach their potential.
- A society where everyone eats wild foods.
- There will be enough for everyone.
- Everyone has a garden, every child knows the feel of dirt and seeds and the joy of planting it and watching it grow, eating it and fully enjoying.

- Less processing!
- Healthy bacon!
- To have food not fixed by chemicals, great in taste, healthy to eat.
- Appreciated, happy farmers who are well paid and share their love of good food. Natural, tasty, wholesome food from the fields because farmers still feed cities.
- To not have to go to the supermarket because we grow or exchange what we grow for things we don’t need + Monsanto closed down!
- I want to own a dairy farm, make cheese, raise bacon honey and barley, eat a hot lunch at a long table and sleep and wake with the sun.
- Make candy healthy.
- I like to eat corn. Yellow corn on the cob.
- Natural land and soil for planting millions of miles.
- More for everyone at a sustainable rate. Possible? Meh, it’s a dream.
- Natural, unprocessed, tasty, simple to prepare.
- That multi-national corporations cannot continue to patent food and screw people over
- No factory farms – only organic family farms.
- Pay farmers better, shift subsidies to foods that are good for us, especially vegetables and eat less meat.
