"Even as traditional environmentalism struggles, another movement is rising in its place, aligning consumers, producers, the media and even politicians. It's the food movement, and if it continues to grow it may be able to create just the sort of political and social transformation that environmentalists have failed to achieve in recent years.
That would mean not only changing the way Americans eat and the way they farm — away from industrialized, cheap calories and toward more organic, small-scale production, with plenty of fruits and vegetables — but also altering the way we work and relate to one another. To its most ardent adherents, the food movement isn't just about reform
— it's about revolution."

Is having your own veg. garden and fruit trees a "food movement"? I also am hanging my clothes out side to dry, my son & sister are living on my farm so we all share meals, vehicles, etc.
As far as food goes, we are sharing " the" garden and we're taking it more seriously. I'm considering canning & preserving. - 1 year ago

A Soil Revolution is just what we need to save our environment, our climate, our biodiversity and our health. And that is one revolution I am definitely going to be part of. The oppression of industrial fossil fuel agriculture is killing us. Thanks for posting this. I featured this on the Sustainable Agriculture group today.
