WirickL One solution is Community based sustainable agriculture. We could learn from those that came before us and get back to the future. I am a worker, self-reliant farmer, small horticultural business owner, community leader and living off-the-grid. Puna is my home and this is where I will take my last breath. I know we can be the change, and I know working together we can become a food independent island-community. Farmers, ranchers, hunters and fishing communities coming together -- it is our right and responsibility. Mahalo
If I didn't know better, it sounds very nostalgic for the days of those of us who moved here in the 'way-back-when' time, before phytophthera, ringspot, coqui, fire ants, ratlung, and lots of other fungal and bacterial diseases that I don't want to try to spell this late at night. ( It also says something about the timewarp of parts of OLE. )
I've commented before about when the ag-people where outnumbered by those who chose not to sweat in the tropical sun to earn their livelihood.
It seems that it would be a better choice to have someone who represents those who are actually living here now.
