  the local food chain

  I agree with many of the comments made so far. But I also have to point out that, at least where I live, the "eat local" movement -- and in particular the "eat local and organic"  movement -- has become trendy enough to make it unaffordable for a lot of folks. The fact that it's a strong trend is of course a very good thing, but it also once more throws a lot of these issues into an elitist framework. While I'm lucky enough to be able to eat local and organic and to otherwise follow sustainable practices, I do think that the high price tag edges out the majority of consumers. There has to be a way (the million dollar question) to make these sustainable approaches to our food supply both solid and attainable.
