In this episode we talk about the importance of local food for our health, communities and the environment. We discuss the impacts of global trade, capitalism and corporate power on communities and individuals. We talk about the way forward after a bottleneck in global power, industrial farming and trade has reduced our ability to survive when economies collapse. The answer starts with local food.
