The Cost of Our Long Distance Food System |
Food is available without regard to place or season and the costs of this long distance food system are discussed. Globalization complicates our food supply even further - over half of our fresh fruit in 2006 was imported with limited testing. This is a threat to our health and security. Industrialized approach to agriculture is heavily dependent on fossil fuels. We need to move back to a sustainabile model of agriculture. EarthSayers Penny Fee; John Ikerd; Fred Kirschenmann |
