More Signs Of Sustainable Food Life
I earlier mentioned that when we run out of oil, we run out of food, and the only way to stave off that ill day is to farm in a more sustainable manner. I also mentioned that there have been many improvements in sustainable farming techniques like crop rotation, cover crops, predator reintroduction, etc. Well here are more signs of life that these techniques are starting to take off. The more of these (USDA) government sponsored programs I see popping up the safer I feel about our future.
This is the sort of thing that I like to see my tax money spent on. Easing the transition into a time without abundant oil. Luckily this isn’t a direct energy issue and was able to slip under the table unlike other projects that could have helped more if they hadn’t been cut immediately upon entering office. (This stance has since changed, however not before the damage had been done.)
