I heard that dude talking on NPR, and the book does sound very interesting. I've been looking into Sustainable Agriculture, but it can be tricky getting good info. I joined a local farmers email list, but was disappointed by the well-meaning but muddy thinking.
So for now I'm mostly focusing on how much food I can grow for our own use, and which crops will do best here, and later if there is a surplus I'll let The Big Guy do the marketing.
Oh, and making sure there is enough fruit to make booze with.
Bonus fact: I did not bother to plant any corn this year because the deer get most of it, anyhow.
