Totally agree with you, and autarky should always be the goal. The ability to grow food is one major reason why I felt compelled to move here, and in this regard, Big Island seems like the final frontier. I hope the trend is towards island produce, and not soy or corn seeds.
I'm also with you on growing the infrastructure without losing the spirit. It would be a travesty to turn Puna into a typical American suburb.
