Farm Bill Recap & Do We Really Need a Few Billion Locavores?
A good recap of the most recently passed farm bill...
Old MacDonald had a farm bill -
The good, bad, and ugly in our national five-year agricultural plan
And a recent post on the Freakonomics blog... on which I hope to comment in the near future since I take issue with some of it as well as some of the comments (some of the comments are good too)...

Interesting article. Like many, this columnist painted things in an all or nothing argument, and it's not as I think we can grow most stuff locally and then buy the rest sustainably. (In other words, I'm not giving up my coffee and olive oil!!!)
Also, just a generation or so ago, people DID grow mostly everything that they needed. Now it's harder with the lack of land, but probably (hopefully!) not impossible.
PS: Congrats on Terre Madre!
