Rob, productive soil can be built. The fact that families have built productive soil in Los Angeles is a testament to that; without irrigation, this place is a desert. And if a tiny, urban, Los Angeles lot can feed a family of four, then your average family is in a good position to grow their own food, since most single-family lots are larger. Whether people are "interested" in doing it is beside the point. The point is that they can. As the costs of shipping food across the country/world increase, it will become more important to realize that you don't have to outsource food production to a couple of guys in Iowa and Kansas.

Wax, I don't think government controls are necessary. At some point, people will realize that we live on a planet of fixed resources and that infinite growth is not possible. I think change will come about via education and cultural changes.
