A bold new initiative. Last night’s quasi-successful presentation on the merits of eating locally made me think about how to take this message and others out into the broader community. And I think that the answer lies in the local churches. They have numbers, an interest in building social networks, and concern for the less fortunate. They need to get on board with the message about declining resources, food shortages, and the need for more community gardens and social enterprises built around the idea of strengthening the community.

Will they listen?
