There's been a lot of debate about the food supply lately, sparked in large part by Food Inc. I won't lie: the movie has had a huge impact on the way the Becks buy food. One of us, despite years of work in the commercial agriculture industry, is really wigged out and will only buy meat from the Farmer's Market or the local hippie grocery store. The other one, bless his carnivorous heart, doesn't really care where the food comes from as long as some of the protein comes in the form of cow.
For those who have a horse in this race, here's some food for thought. What does sustainable agriculture look like to you?

Letting my wife buy the groceries...
ReplyDeleteOn a recent trip to the farmer's market, the wife was convinced that one of the merchants had just bought a lot of food from a store and was selling it as organic. I can't remember what made her think that, but it did make me think that just because someone is at a farmer's market doesn't mean they're selling locally produced food.
ReplyDeleteWe tried our hand at growing our own food this year. Got a whole lot of zucchini, but due to poor irrigation the rest of the crops did not do so hot. I'll be attempting to install a drip system for the garden this weekend.
Hopefully nothing explodes.
