Today brings a great new article on the Huffington Post about the opportunities that the new food system is creating, and why those of use who are involved in it have to re-double our efforts to get that message of opportunity across to both conventional producers, most of whom are struggling even with government subsidies, and consumers, who have been fed a line of PR bull by the industrial ag lobby for years.

- It's not too hard to see what's wrong with the old industrial food system that brought us cheap food at a huge cost to the health of the land, our rural communities and our families. But there is a new food system sprouting up within the shell of the old, a return to hands-on, healthy food and food communities. That is the subject of this blog.
