This 6-pillar curriculum teaches the basic literacy we need to be personally and financially successful and to do so in a manner in which together we evolve a culture that supports the emergence of an advanced human civilization.
“You’re looking at a massive shortage of truck drivers, in particular. That is going to really put the pressure on deliveries and on price…. Add to that the increase in energy costs for transportation and logistics, we’re likely coming up on a national crisis here for food costs. I don’t mean to be making unnecessary predictions, but people need to be aware that it’s not getting better before it gets worse.”
I recommend organic to people as a simple way to qualify products, but always with hesitancy because of the many loopholes in organic standards taken advantage of by letter-of-the-law, profit-trumps producers. Now I better understand the difference with “certified organic,” and will recommend it.
Of course, knowing your local farmers and how they produce is best, but that takes a level of education that few possess or have interest in acquiring. For example, there is a roadside stand that sells eggs. I emailed and asked about the feed they use (because the cheapest feed contains seed oils and other things I do not want my eggs). Never heard back and therefore I continue to shop online at Nourish Food Club: https://nourishfoodclub.com/collections/egg.
Because I was involved in a freight brokerage service for years, I’ve sometimes mentioned within Solari comments that very few truck drivers were speaking English anymore (often Russian or Arabic, BTW), and that I thought if the US was ever in trouble I saw no loyalty to our country within the trucker population, except for what we referred to as “the good old boys” from rural America. The foreigners with questionable status here worked hard for every penny they earned, but weren’t running the trucking industry because they were patriots, if you know what I mean. And wow, now the industry that we depend on has become fragile because ICE has frightened those foreigners out of the business. I’m more concerned than ever about logistics in America, as Alan has illustrated this in his talk. This has broader implications than food supply, of course. But Alan has given us a valuable look into how very fragile our healthy food supply is in particular. I’m amazed at how difficult it is for Natural Grocers to bring us that beautiful produce section that I make weekly purchases from.
Are we looking at the engineering of global famine? Michael Yon believes so. If the straits stay closed, we could be in real trouble.
Yes, and it looks, in hindsight, like it was planned quite some time ago. I’ve resumed gardening based on what you and Michael have been illustrating lately. And surrounding the food crop with flowers for both joy and camouflage.
