If you believe the media, the conventional ones as well as the social media, we are facing food shortages.

They had land to grow crops and they had animals for milk, eggs and meat. Markets were mostly local, and food was consumed in the villages and towns near the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&amp;blog=7821215&amp;post=2112&amp;subd=futurefood&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
