The author lost me with this nonsense.
It is simply, factually, false.
We have not had primary local food production since the 1920's, and we will not fall back to that level.
It could happen *if* government enforces it, such as the Greens and the Biden administration appear to wish.
Those who can will step up to the task. In my area, we already have thriving local producers. We also have scalable grwnges and co-ops. No doubt that hard times are doming. A lot of folks are going to perish of disease and starvation. But not everyone. Those who have skills will do well. We’ll still need teachers, historians and beer brewers. Im all three.
“the need to organize the activities that support food production locally,”
Sounds a LITTLE like the socialist Grange my ancestors were involved in decades ago.
In my local community many families produce virtually all their food and are happy to sell a vast surplus. This is in a fairly harsh climate with poor soil.
