Food Crisis

It seems that the world is gradually starting to realize it's growing food problem. The issue here is that it may indeed be too late to do something productive. Numerous countries have the lost the traditional wisdom to have sustainable agriculture. As Weston Price noted in the 1930's and 40's and more modern authors are also noting, fruits and vegetables both have significantly lower amounts of vitamins when compared to food produced under sustainable systems in the late 19th century and the early 20th century. Vitamins and minerals are not being put back into the soil and thus food is weakening, the yield is not as high and people are reaping the repercussions. The global population continues to grow but the availability of food is not growing along with the demand. Cheap, low quality food is definitely the global enemy. Anyway, here is a very interesting article that goes deep into the issue. It is a very good analysis of our current system and the problems that humanity is facing.
