meltdown 2 hit agriculture food shortages loom, page-2

Just watching Michael Pollan video about food.

He outlines the problems agribusiness have created such as pollution and huge public health issues. Actually, concentrating food production is not good for food security.


How to overcome shortages of food:

- Buy local to reduce energy costs.
Use local farmers markets.

- Grow your own food in your garden. If you aren't able then look to accessing community gardens.

In the US during WW2 40% of crops grown by individuals. Agribusiness is not going to like this.

- Reduce food wastage which is very high.

- Cook your own meals. It is healthier and cheaper. And empowering.
