The Food and Farming Transition- Toward a Post Carbon Food System

    * The Post-Carbon Institute, April 1, 2009

The American food system rests on an unstable foundation of massive fossil
fuel inputs. It must be reinvented in the face of declining fuel stocks.
The new food system will use less energy, and the energy it uses will come
from renewable sources. We can begin the transition to the new system
immediately through a process of planned, graduated, rapid change. The
unplanned alternative-reconstruction from scratch after collapse-would be
chaotic and tragic. Our new food system will require more farmers, smaller
and more diversified farms, less processed and packaged food, and less
long-distance hauling of food. Governments, communities, businesses, and
families each have important parts to play in reinventing a food system
that functions with limited renewable energy resources to feed our
population for the long term.
