Some interesting facts:

Today most of our food comes from over 1250 miles away. We all know that this can not continue to be affordable.

Since 1945 there has been a tenfold increase in the use of chemical pesticides on our food. Many want to eat pesticide free food. 

Each year the number of acres of land used to produce food in the U. S. is decreasing. This forces us to obtain our food from foreign sources. These sources may not be dependable in the near future. 

Today 19 cents of every dollar spent on food goes back to the farm. In 1975 that amount was 40 cents. There is less financial  incentive to become a farmer today. Only 1% of our population today are farmers, compared to about 90% at the turn of the century.  Who is going to grow our food if we don't?
