The bad news is that we will probably be feeling significant effects of peak oil by 2012. Everything that relies heavily on oil (notably transport and modern food production) may become either very expensive or in short supply. So where will our food come from? From sustainable, small scale, local organic farms, that's where!
The good news is that small acreages can produce a lot of food! In this Peak Moment video, Janet Brisson demonstrates her home-canned and dried vegetables, fruit, and beans she grows along with chickens and bees on her small acreage .
Renee Wade talks about adapting farming practices to suit the land: Though her property doesn't have access to much water, for example, she is able to raise goats.
