Local food production and distribution are objects of concern for
many on this list. Almost as important, however, is local food
processing, for this determines to a large extent how food
produced locally is preserved and made available independent of
the seasonal production cycle.

In this month's TCLocal article, "Food Processing in Tompkins
County," Seph Doliner has written a comprehensive overview of food
processing methods and the facilities currently available in our
area. Like all TCLocal articles, it approaches the subject in the
context of local responses to energy descent. You can find it at

http://tclocal.org/2009/02/food_processing_in_tompkins_co.html

The TCLocal web site is specifically designed to get your feedback
on plans for local policy responses to energy descent as they are
being developed. As usual, we invite responses from readers
coming at these issues from different perspectives. Please visit
the site and let us know what you think.
