Thanks to radio co-host, Jack Gregg

And Earth Policy Institute for bringing the continuing decline in food supplies, and the many reasons behind it, to our attention.

Interesting that agriculture has seen terrific growth in New England, and is one of the resurgent industries here.  At the same time, there's been a proliferation of small farms, organic growers and even urban farmers.  Of course, we are a long way from being self-sufficient with our local food products.

What also ties into this is the ecological destruction caused by mass farming with their over dependence and use of pesticides that end up running into our water supplies.  The need for chemical support might grow as climate change brings harsher conditions to farmers.

We expect to cover this story and bring on experts to talk about the decline in our food supplies, including the Earth Policy Institute.
