Goat will be making a bigger showing on menus within the next 5 years. Michael Pollan brings up some options that make alot of sense. Let's hope states as well as the USDA see the suggestions as viable options to pulling out of the current food system. Mr Pollan addressed land grant colleges, that have gone on to do research for the commercial commodity businesses.....for the past 7 years I've been on a Mizzou sustainable Ag board that has been trying and succeeding to some level, in getting sustainable ag on the university's table. Recently I've heard from a buddy who is intensively farming 1 acre and within 9 months raising 25,000# of produce.....grossing $70,000. THIS IS HUGE. THIS is the kind of information that shoots down the "only big boys raise the amount of food needed to feed the world." Mark Bittman is really pushing for conscience eating. It's good to see the movement thriving. Bill Niman is raising boar goats, really interesting article. Goat will be making a bigger showing on menus within the next 5 years.
