It’s a wonderful city in many ways, and I like it very much. But it’s scarcely America’s breadbasket. In fact, it can’t even be Seattle’s breadbasket.
Sustainable, local, small-scale agriculture (e.g., in urban gardens) is a big fashionable deal in restaurants and organic markets and conversations in certain places (e.g., in the Pacific Northwest, certain coastal areas of California, and so forth).
But is it feasible as a way of feeding large numbers of people?
No.
