Vatic Note: Wow, this is an eye opening educational experience. What I didn't expect was the historical and current perspective on today's agriculture practices and impact on us, our food, and on the planet. Is that why the senate bill was offered that forbid growing our own food?
Given the miles that our food travels to get from field to plate, is horrendous and costly in so many ways. This article lays it all out foundationally, in leading up to the objective of this article. I had no idea that we lost so much of our food using the old system, before it ever reached its destination. That was a real eye opener for me.
This shift they are discussing in growing food in urban areas, is incredible and they are proving its doable. Just think of the fuel saved, transportation problems avoided, and the freshness of the products grown, so that their nutrients will actually mean something positive for our health and that of our children.
This is really exciting news and a definite VIABLE SOLUTION to at least one of our problems. If this continues, we won't need any stupid carbon tax. They are growing it all without using pesticides. They aren't needed in an urban setting.... what a great way to solve a major problem in food production and distribution.
Now all we need is to get rid of GMO and that will solve our food problem nicely.
I hope you will enjoy this read as much as I did.
Fund raising. Well, we did not get what we needed to meet our deficit, but its small enough that I can put part of what was needed off for another day, so please help us get that last
$40 by tomorrow at the latest. Thanks for being there for us so many times and almost making it this time around as well. Just one more day hopefully will do it. We have the balance and that was distributed today, so the small one will hopefully be in the pay pal fund by tomorrow early and we can get it out with an apology for being late. Help us out on this. Thanks again for all that you do.

The current industrial agricultural model has benefited human populations (above all else) over the last century, taking the human population from approximately 1.6 billion people in the early 1900’s to over 7 billion people on 31st of October 2011. The widespread clearance of land across all continents for agriculture, combined with the use of heavy machinery and artificial fertilizers, has contributed to the widespread exploitation of the planet and ecosystems on a scale never seen before.
