Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Tradingpost" <tradingpost@lobo.net>]

".. a high priority must be placed on the building of community resilience 
through the preferential local sourcing of necessities and the maintenance of 
larger regional inventories—especially of food and fuel. (28) .. It currently 
takes an average of 8.5 calories of energy from oil and natural gas to 
produce each calorie of food energy. Without cheap fuel for agriculture, farm 
production will plummet and farmers will go bankrupt—unless proactive efforts 
are undertaken to reform agriculture to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels."
