Nice reading - "Want 100 million farmers"

If you are interested in agricultural economics, check out this interesting entry:  More will be asked of us: Revisiting 100 Million Farmers. - A suggestion that really lot more farmers are needed for the economy, and each one of us should be able to participate in the farming process, particularly from within urban cities; and there are methods and approaches to do that, and some cities (like HongKong) are doing that.

So what's the problem here? The whole of food economics relies on fact that few people should produce food for a most of the population, so that that population can afford food at much lower prices - in a way that will sustain the farmer community at reasonable levels of living costs. With increase in awareness of organic farming, preferences to local sustainable farming, we do need to rethink on whether there can be a sustainable economic activity which can achieve these goals.

So if social networking are impacting us in shopping, finding good stocks etc., they may also help us grow food for few others, and make this activity economically sustainable, and may trigger a revolution in this space!
