Man, you guys are in love with petty power bosses.

How about dethroning a lot of the warlords as a solution instead of setting up more under the guise of "helping people"?

If Pollan's not careful, he'll get tapped as Farmer-in-Chief, despite his protestations. Then we won't get any more books out of him, and I've been so eagerly awaiting a sequel to "Botany of Desire."

Lots of good ideas from all these folks. If Obama can manage to cut back the subsidies to destructive agriculture and help sustainable ag, even a bit, it will be a great victory.

Eat what you grow, grow what you eat

As a new resident of Chicago, and a member of the twentyish-student-farmer-environmentalist-conscious-lifestyle crowd, I'm thrilled about the upcoming Obama presidency. I have been working on and with organic farms http://www.msuorganicfarm.com and http://www.wwoof.org for a few years, and I have more hope than ever about the future of food in the USA and in the world. More and more people are thinking about their food choices, including our next president, and more farmers are starting to "go green"...only time will tell, but I think things are moving in the right direction. Great quotes, and I love this blog. Cheers. http://www.sustainablefarmer.com/mitra
