McKibben's Podcast

McKibben’s podcast gave clarity to many of the issues regarding this altered Earth. It seemed the audio focused more on the agriculture, farming aspect of the world. It informed the readers that less grains and grasses were being grown. People were also doing less fishing. The world was slowly but surely turning completely away from farming. It was stated that in 2010 only 1% of Americans were farming. At that time there were 2 times more prisoners than farmers. This of course isn’t a comparison to show greatness. More money is spent on food, because the food is being bought from far away and being shipped in. A way around this would be growing food more locally. Local could mean anything from ones town, state or even region as long as it wasn’t from across the world.
