A tool for re-orienting the food system towards local production is a new sub-acre farming method called SPIN Farming. It transfers commercial farming techniques to sub-acre land bases. It requires minimal infrastructure and removes the 2 big barriers to entry for first generation farmers - they don't need much land or financial resources to start up a SPIN operation. And SPIN makes agriculture compatible,rather than competitive,with built uses, and is therefore uniquely suited to cities and densely populated areas.

When will more of the 'experts' start to discuss the problem caused by an ever increasing human population?
We cannot just keep multiplying and assume that there will be sufficient resources to support the growing population.
