Contrary to popular imagery, it is not lawn watering, car washing, and long showers that are depleting aquifers and draining rivers. As Derrick Jensen points out, 90% of the freshwater in the U.S. is used by Industry, including industrial agriculture, with the remaining 10% being split evenly between municipal users (such as people in homes) and golf courses. Here in Eastern Oregon it’s a small constituency — the ranchers — sucking up most of the moisture, and whining about it to boot. There’s your real scam. . . . → Read More: Postcard From Eastern Oregon: When Planting Food Is Illegal, By Kollibri terre Sonnenblume

Here, Madison expands on Mark Bittman’s suggestions for promoting fresh food in inner-city food deserts, as reported in a Carolyn Baker post, arguing that simple changes and plans can make significant differences. . . . → Read More: Food Deserts And Public Health

Like so many chirping miner’s canaries, about 400 people met last weekend in a Boulder church and hotel to talk about what might perhaps best be called “collapse preparedness.” The occasion was a conference called “Our Local Economy in Transition: Exploring Food Localization as Economic Development,” organized by Transition Colorado, the local arm of the “Transition Towns” movement. . . . → Read More: Boulder Prepares For Hard Times Ahead With “Food Localization,” By Bob Wells 
ORIGINAL ARTICLE (http://www NULL.digitaljournal NULL.com/article/303897) Food could soon hold a greater value than gold to many people of the world with rising prices, civil unrest and food products such as corn being converted into fuel. Americans could come to understand what other countries such as Egypt already know. Regardless what country you live in everyone . . . → Read More: Food Crisis Coming, By Christopher Wager 
ORIGINAL BLOGPOST (http://www NULL.paulchefurka NULL.ca/Oil_fired_grain_fed NULL.html) In other articles I have made the claim that because of our industrial food system, oil, food and population are inextricably linked.
