Why small, local, organic farms aren’t the key to fixing our food system - The Washington Post

Why small, local, organic farms aren’t the key to fixing our food system - The Washington Post:


I have posted this article because I think that it might poke a blind spot in our feelings about how to regenerate the planet's soils. There is certainly a scale issue that has been brought up by many.


I don't believe that local and organic is not up to the solution. It is. However, it must also be asked, what is the role of the large companies in the ecological performance of the country. Unless they have those metrics at their mission level, I am not sure that we will be able to use their networks and infrastructure, which is their key to profitability.
