As food prices rise, I have a feeling that local food will become less a lifestyle statement, and more of an economic necessity. A natural progression from political statement -> lifestyle statement -> sustainability -> local economic choice -> health choice -> personal economic choice. I believe we're at the point between sustainability and local economic choice. As local food becomes more competitive with big supermarkets and big agribusiness, I think there is a huge market/margins for start-ups, logistics, and added value.
