"Just imagine a system that boosts renewable energy through the widespread use of solar and wind energy to power all aspects of farm operations. Imagine cities that produce a large percentage of their food, cutting down the length of the food chain while shifting the local land and farming operations back to producing food for local consumption. Imagine a shift to production crops such as fruits and vegetables, including heirloom varieties that the agricultural industry has made generally unavailable."
