Agroecology Act of 2011 - Columbia

Rationale

It's important to understand agriculture, both culturally and economically, is multi-faceted. I believe instead of strict regulations, we should target certain areas regarding unsustainable practices within agriculture. This act will enforce an agroecology focus when it comes to agriculture.
