SEVEN PINES GROWER STARTS NEW BLOG
Leslie Lytle, owner of Seven Pines, has begun a new blog called Food Justice. She states, "…for nearly all my adult life, I’ve raised most of what I eat. I’ve witnessed firsthand the evolution of no-till farming with chemical weed control and organic farming, parallel developments on a timeline but with methods and goals racing in opposite directions. It seems like I’m always talking about growing things, the complex mechanics of getting food from the farm to the table, and why so many Americans are malnourished.

“It occurred to me CFM members, customers and growers might be interested. My first full post is titled: ‘Why are people starving and malnourished in the United States when over 300 million acres of crops were harvested last year?’ An excerpt follows.

“U.S. farmers harvested crops from more than 307 million acres last year. Add to that, another 62 million acres of pasture land. There are 318 million people living here. I grow most of what I eat on a quarter acre with ample left over to sell at local farmers’ markets most years. With 307 million acres of cropland in the U.S., farmers should be growing more than enough to feed all of us. That amounts to nearly an acre of land for each man, woman, and child in the country. But 49 million Americans are food insecure, nearly one third of them children.”
