Food Insecurity

Locally Grown. Locally Owned. Feeding Alabama Together

Alabama exports more food than it keeps, yet too many families struggle with food insecurity and lack access to fresh, affordable produce. It’s time to invest in local, small-scale agriculture that keeps food and wealth in our communities while creating jobs and economic opportunity.

Ryan Cagle’s plan will rebuild local agricultural markets by:

• Supporting Aquaponics Cooperatives: A highly productive, small-scale agricultural system that produces both vegetables and protein, creating sustainable food sources and jobs.
• Expanding Community Gardens and CSAs: Giving families and neighborhoods the tools to grow their own food, strengthen local connections, and fight hunger.

By empowering local farmers, co-ops, and community-led agriculture, we can build a future where no one in Alabama goes hungry, and our food system works for the people—not just big agribusiness.

"He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding." - Proverbs 12:11

By investing $500,000/year of the $2.5 Million generated through Land and Tax Reform we will be able to increase food security, support local business, and cultivate agricultural self-reliance for working-class Alabamians.
