cruz: It's complex, but I think it's about doing the best you can in your particular situation.

The August 2007 issue of Scientific American Magazine contains an article on page 82 that addresses some of the issues raised in this video. It shows the advantages of using perennial crops vs. annuals, the current norm.
It makes environmental sense, but not economic, as the farmers would no longer have to buy seed, fertilizer, fuel for tilling, etc.,which is why it will not happen under current government policy. just not profitable enough for their corporate contributors. Sad, but true!

Cool...buy local food when you can, good idea. Now about oil, lets see...everything in your home is made from it (appliances, etc), your car is made from it, your shoes are made from it, and on and on and on...So what do we do???

j/k i disagree somewhat. I do like the idea about buying from and helping out small family farms.

It appears that you've already gone backwards.

please look to the positives in this argument as any amount of careful study will prove that local food is best all round... importing food by boat is ok, will be better when they add sails to the boats again - whereas importing soft fruit and easily grown salad by plane is a quick way to add millions of unnecessary tonnes of co2 to the atmosphere - we have to take some personal responsibility for our choices!
