Alexander Cockburn | BP Faces Fines of Up to $10 Billion, Plus Jail Time for Guilty Officials

Randel Hanson's Tale Of Local Food's Rise, Fall, And Nascent Revival - A Lesson In Diversity's Strength

http://www.truth-out.org/laying-foundations-sustainable-local-food-systems67806

The article linked above gives a strong summary of the history of regional food production around Duluth, Minnesota and the Great Lakes region - and leads us to pathways free of the rising costs, environmental, financial, and social, of industrialized, un-sustainable factory farming methods.

This is a lesson and illustration that the world needs to hear, as the challenge of meeting the dietary needs of a rising global population outstrips the capacity of land-inefficient industrialized mono-cropping.

The environmental benefits of small farming are becoming impossible to ignore, as industrialized farming dooms itself and the cultures that depend on it, by wiping out the fertile soils of the lands it abuses. Small farming has been shown in studies to be far more productive per-acre than industrialized farming. Small farms also tend to preserve and even improve soils and soil quality through careful micro-management not possible with centralized management in industrial farming practices.

If you want to be eating in a few decades, it might be a good idea to learn about this.
