Dear All, I wonder if Will Allen's MacArthur Genius Award and, now, Michael Pollan's "Farmer in Chief" NYT Sunday Magazine essay...
Will inspire Thomas Friedman to connect the dots and discover the link between the local, good food, "sun food" movements and ET, green job development, environmental stewardship, national security, public health, and more. Please send him an e-mail inspiring him to read and seeking his response to Pollan's brilliant essay. http://topics.nytimes.com/top/opinion/editorialsandoped/oped/columnists/thomaslfriedman/index.html And thanks to Roger Dorian and Daniel Bowman Simon for their intense work these past couple of years to inspire visions of a White House organic food garden. Pollan's article concludes with that image, which, methinks, Michelle Obama, will help make happen. Pollan's piece is the first for me that focuses on the notion of "sun food" versus "oil food," and offers helpful concepts like "diversified sun farming," "sun based fertility," skilled solar farming," and "rocket lettuce," i.e. arugula, my favorite! Thank you Roger Dorian, Daniel Bowman Simon, Michael Pollan, and... Thomas Friedman! I eagerly await Friedman's sun food essay!
