Working It Out Live: Have We Changed?
By Jon Greenberg on Friday, November 20, 2009.

We must spend more time on local food sufficiency and security, not as something simply attractive or desirable but as something very much necessary, as our present food supply, coming in from long distance with no local storage, is threatened by turmoil in the economy and, obviously, energy prices and availability. Today, we must have oil before we can eat - not a good situation and highly insecure.
