“If economics is reconceived in the service of community, it will begin with
a concern for agriculture and specifically for the production of food. This
is because a healthy community will be a relatively self-sufficient one. A
community’s dependency on outsiders for its mere survival weakens it. It is
often unable to develop the policies it desires for the sake of its own
members, since its survival depends on terms dictated by others. The most
fundamental requirement for survival is food. Hence, how and where food is
grown is foundational to an economics for community.”
--Herman Daly and John Cobb
