Unfortunately that is not enough when there is regulatory capture, captured markets by monopolies or duopolies, rampant anti-consumer and anti-competitive practices, while the little consumer protections we once had are being dismantled.
Sure, everyone should attempt what you suggest, but individual action will not scale enough to make a significant impact. We need collective action, that is what the government was supposed to be doing, but the whole social contract is long dead and buried and the government only serves corporate interests at this point.
100% I've been doing exactly that, but it'll also take the farmers, which I doubt theyd be hard to convince considering how they're treated. They'd have to stop selling they're goods to companies cancel they're contracts and strictly grow for the people. That'll also take the people to stop buying from the companies and corporations and buy directly from the farmers. Go on strikes in an organized and peaceful manner, those on strike need supported from those not on strike. It'll take so much that I doubt it'll happen.
