Diversification

I understand that by posting this I am completely fulfilling the hippy, organic, locavore stereotype. I honestly have no interest in following the trend of eating locally. I am interested in eating efficiently though, in ways that can sustain the most amount of people. I have no interest in conventional farming. I don't think Harvest for Hunger's attempt to break the world record for the fastest way to harvest 160 acres of soybeans (click on link) at a farm near Monkton, Ontario earlier this month, is a solution to hunger. The intention is there, but by no means are mass production farms feasible solutions to food security issues.


Here are a couple of videos discussing urban farming, and unconventional agricultural practices. 

I saw Will Allen at a talk in Port Townsend. He was named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People in 2010. Press here for the link.
