h texastam april 22 2008 the climate the intergovernmental panel on climate change found in a 2007 study that several factors will affect mass food production in the near future overall food production is projected to benefit from a warmer climate but there probably will be strong regional effects with some areas in north america suffering significant loss of comparative advantage to other regions the u s great plains canadian prairies are expected to be particularly vulnerable climate change is expected to improve growing conditions for some crops that are limited by length of growing season and temperature e g fruit production in the great lakes region and eastern canada climate change also has a widespread effect on plant growth the behavior and aggressiveness of certain plant diseases and pests adverse affects on beneficial insects birds and animals the composition of soil water quantity and quality the list goes on energy use when the cost of produce rises it isn t necessarily due to a sudden freeze in florida or a drought in california the price of gas greatly affects food costs due to transportation expenses remember when something as small and light as a bunch of scallions was 3 1 if enough people would grow their own food it would make a dramatic difference in energy demand traffic congestion and the emission of greenhouse gases on a related point produce that hasn t logged a bunch of food miles is better quality it s fresher and isn t bounced around in transit according to environmental writer bill mckibben 75 of the apples sold in new york city come from the west coast or overseas even though the state produces far more apples than city residents consume isn t that ridiculous food safety here s a scary stat the fda inspects only about 1 of the imported foods it regulates down from 8 in 1992 when imports were far less common the usda which regulates meat and poultry is much stricter the fda also doesn t require that exporting countries have safety systems equivalent to those in the usa here s more from a story that ran in usa today in march 2007 the decline in fda inspection resources has been pronounced in the past five years while food imports have soared about 50 the number of fda food import inspectors has dropped about 20 the agency says meanwhile more food imports come from developing countries where pesticide use is often higher than in the usa water quality is often worse and workers may be less likely to be trained in food safety says michael doyle head of the center for food safety at the university of georgia a 2003 fda study found pesticide violations in 6 1 of imported foods sampled vs 2 4 of domestic foods it has not been updated several years earlier the fda found salmonella and shigella which can cause dysentery in 4 of imported fruits and vegetables vs 1 1 of domestic products ick cost a packet of tomato seeds will set you back on average about 3 let s say 50 of the 100 seeds in the packet germinate and become fruit bearing plants and that each plant bears a minimum of 10 lbs of fruit that s 500 lbs of fruit for 3 conversely a bag of cherry tomatoes on the vine about a dozen if you re lucky also costs 3 of course when growing your own you could calculate the cost of soil additives tomato cages canning supplies water mulch etc and the value of your time and effort spent tending to the plants but i think the benefits are pretty clear my message is of course grow your own stuff climate can be controlled more effectively unless you opt to have a large farm the management of your food crops shouldn t be all that daunting cloth can protect from freezes as well as hot temperatures soil quality can be manually altered to your crops needs everything including watering levels pest and disease problems etc can be more closely monitored under your own watchful eye best of all you will know what if any pesticides and fertilizers are being applied to your food crops instead of being forced to buy mysteriously produced food that wasn t safely grown or properly inspected even a family of five doesn t need much yard space to host a highly productive garden if you re pressed for yard space use containers vertical gardening training vines to grow up instead of spreading out is also effective and efficient if you have a yard consider ripping out some of the grass and making it into a veggie garden that lovely green lawn is a huge and unnecessary water waster anyway if you re a rookie to vegetable gardening do plenty of research before jumping in learn what grows well in your area work to continually improve the soil read about crop rotation to ensure efficient production year after year can and preserve the wonderful food you ve worked hard to grow so you can enjoy it all year round lastly if you absolutely don t have the time space or energy to grow your own fruits and vegetables please do your best to support local organic food markets check
