The UN estimates that there are 86 food deficit nations, 35 nations
currently in a food crisis, and 26 water deficient countries. About 39% of our
world’s population is not served by any electric grid and 25% are without basic
emergency power. Christianity Today reported
25,000 people were estimated to starve to death daily in a November 2008
article on world hunger.
One root cause, according to CECON Consultant # 1959, a power plant and
infrastructure development expert, is that the agriculture that once produced food for
direct human consumption has been industrialized and monopolized globally to
now produce animal feed, luxury export crops, and global investment commodities
out of both reach and benefit to the poor consumer and the small organic farmer
alike. Even record yields don’t feed those who can’t afford their price. And
the UN reports 41.5% of the world’s people have $2/day or less in spendable
income, who are then squeezed out of the market to buy a subsistence plot of
land for their survival.
CECON Consultant # 1959 is currently working on technologies in low-cost
systems for greenhouse farming and community electric power plants. He proposes
eight solutions for dealing with food and energy crises.

2. Construct single community electric power plants based on the site’s
capabilities, free and waste fuels, and the project objectives and budget.
3. Establish community-supported agriculture (CSA) in which the people of
a community or village pay farmers (usually organic growers using native seed)
in advance or by contract for food they pick up from them weekly during the
entire growing season.
4. Enable the community or village to purchase local land for a
greenhouse farm with additional plots if desired for lease or rental of equal
shares to local consumers and growers.
5. Get prospective local small growers together to jointly purchase an
agricultural tract, splitting its ownership at closing and possibly retaining
equal shares ownership on some common ground for a greenhouse farm.
7. Pass a family homesteading law to distribute a percentage (say 25%) of
all federal and state owned conservation lands (such as Forest Service &
BLM land in the US) to be completed in say a 2 year time maximum.
8. Require mandatory redistribution of all corporate farm holdings of 100
acres or larger in 10-acre parcels/family within 1 year. Similarly, Franklin D.
Roosevelt required that insurance companies dispose of their acquired
agricultural lands quickly in the period just following the great depression of
the 1930s.
Experts report that producing the
world’s human food requirements will use an amazingly small amount of land if
greenhouse farming methods like theirs are applied. Based on their one-acre
planned food & energy demonstration model, a 9,486 square mile area
irrigated in greenhouse farming under moderately intensive organic farm
management will provide adequate fish, fruit, & vegetable protein and
nutrition for 6.5 billion people. That area would occupy a square plot 97.4
miles on a side, being 16.86% of the state of Iowa’s size, or 1.4% of the United
State’s cropland area of 420 million acres. This area would equal seven global
square plots measuring 36.81 miles on a side.

The challenge is to implement these solutions and safeguards to our freedoms from underneath the special interest alliances already in place. Dr. Vallianatos, in his book This Land is Their Land, reports these hidden self-serving corrupt alliances of land grant agricultural universities, federal governmental agencies, and their big corporate (sometimes multinational) supporters. If the present trend continues unchecked, it is possible that two dozen companies could control most of the planet’s food and energy resources very soon.
Some individuals are undoubtedly already thinking about how to legally implement technology and equipment exchanges discreetly to secure their families and communities or villages.
