I'm working on building a successful farm on only a little over an acre. It's been done before, so I don't see "sustainable food" as the death of the idea of a farm. Originally farms weren't the huge things that can't be managed without machines by a few farmers -- corporations did that. So far, environmentalists have only encouraged my budding hope. But I'm sure that farmers, as they often seem to be, have been forgotten quite often. I think this is a good reminder, that our food has to come from someplace...and not everyone can grow their own, not every city can successfully supply food to their citizens. If nature teaches us anything, it's that diversity makes for a healthy environment. It's the same for human environments as it is for all other creatures. - Rache Sun, 02 Nov 2008 04:08:11 +0100 http://envirovore.com/content/view/253/9/#comment-2404 I would be very interested to hear from some farmers on the subject. I am a fan of Pollan and his opinions on food, but I\'m also not planning on moving back to the country to work on a farm. At some point we have to look at what we want (energy and food independence) and ask realistically what it will take to get it. I\'m not into working at a large producing farm, but I am into growing my own vegetables. It\'s something to think about. - Sarah-Jane Sanders Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:29:40 +0100
