Thanks for the post. I agree that countries should always look for ways to be self-sufficient and engage in trade, but too often the almighty dollar dictates when things will be bought elsewhere. For Canada, with the weather, the outlook at growing 100% of the food needs looks impossible. But, I don't know much about farming. Anyway, interesting post indeed. Bill Very interesting read.

I was raised on a farm in North Florida in the 40's, 50's and 60's. In 1968 I took a course called World Geogrpahy and fell in love with the subject. My professor kept us intrigued each week by his passion for nature. It set a course for each of us in that class. We were stewards of Earth. To serve her was a choice. This professor had to chase us out of class at 10:00 at night. Our conversations were heady and for this we loved being in his class. As I have grown older I have focused my personal attention to just a few issues, one being global health. We retired and moved to a little fishing village, Cedar Key, Florida. Our first meetings with Buzz Holling was a happy surprise. We enjoy the meaningful and positive dialouge. At every crossroads we choose a path. Global crossroads needs signs to lead the way. Teachers like Buzz, books such as this, open ended dialouge, and blogs of this caliber are ways to steer the course. Every environment has its champions.
