I think we're in uncharted territory right now and you're right... that's a radical thought about the needed direction of agriculture. We've certainly got the required land for grass root production yet we've been conditioned to eschew home-based production for the most part only to rely on an intrinsically falable supply-trail. I feel our isolation can be a two-edged sword. On the one hand, assuming the planet becomes caught up in a global situation, then being located on one of the most remote land forms on the globe would be highly beneficial, yet on the other, approaching nearly one-hundred years of corporate conditioning whereby a consumer mentality was incubated in preference to home-based production requirements spells the creation of a "lag-period"... should we become overtaken by any such calamity. To me this lag-period would be the amount of time it would take the collective consciousness of the island to both realize and to respond to the building of a viable grass roots agricultural system which would be capable of supplying the minimun requirements, here... on the B.I. This will take team work and hard... even very hard work to simply bring the base up to the minimal requirements assuming these events occur. >> Right now I'm very concerned about the 28th of this month and it may well be already written in stone...
I feel strongly that at some point, perhaps very soon, were going to thank our lucky stars that we're residing here at this point in human history. Sharpen you skills.
