Healthy soil and sustainable growing

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

Bottom line: everything that raises the cost of oil raises the cost of 
chemical farming and long supply lines. Fertilizer, pesticides, and 
herbicides are all fossil fuel derived. General price inflation will do the 
same, and rising inflation is unavoidable. Any significant disruption to 
world oil production will also do the same. And these cost escalators are 
cumulative building on each other.

It's not the end of the world as we know it, just serious price shocks that 
make fossil-free growing for local consumtion far more competitive on price 
and chemical farming less. At some point local organic will be cheaper than 
fossil fuel farmed and transported food. More like the early 1900's. You 
don't have to be an economist to know which way the wind is blowing.
