The Crop To Cuisine
Credo
Think that global
warming is too big, too colossal a problem for you to do anything about?
What about the safety of your food supply, or the poor state of the
economy? Innovation and creativity is bringing us many ideas as to how
we can solve these problems. Yet important as they are, many of the
proposed solutions for these problems are financially out of reach for
you and I. Can you afford to buy a new Hybrid car or solar panels for
your home? I cant. Do you have the time or space to grow all your own
fruits and vegetables, to raise your own farm animals? I know I don't,
and I can guess the answer for most of you. Many people today are having
a hard enough time keeping their jobs, or finding new ones. And it has
been some time since the days of agrarian society.
As the limitations of globalization become ever clearer, the need to
revisit the source of our food supply is paramount. In 2007, the United
States Food and Drug Administration cited over 350 recall related
incidents, a 1000% increase from 1999.
As global warming has moved from a debate to a reality, solutions are
needed at a rapid pace.
When the fruits of our labor are moving abroad, we need to reexamine
where we want to spend our money, and what we want to support with it.
These are big sweeping problems. Problems that we feel in our
communities, neighborhoods, homes, and around the world.
But,
you are wrong to think that you don't have the power to make changes -
to improve the situation for yourself, those communities, and others
around the globe. This is not a "self help" gimmick designed to make
your wildest fantasies come to fruition.
