Recently we have started to experience the dark side of the trendy "Globalism Model", which fosters excessive specialization and dependence upon WTO-pressured national trade policy compliance. It should surprise no one that governments are first & foremost concerned with the well-being of their own citizens, and food dependency on the benevolence of the "Global Market" is to no country's advantage, especially since producers of most essential resources have a history of dampening supply when it suits their political purposes. As industrial farming, propelled by financial profit motives, increases it highly toxic but abundant supply of engineered foods via GMO's and new generations of pesticides, hungry countries will have little choice but to increase yields via the same environmentally destructive practices. Surging numbers of human beings, forced off their sustainable relationship with land into their unsustainable relationship with urban centers, will become a highly disruptive force within the social unrest that is brewing throughout the world. A lifestyle that restores our balanced relationship with nature may be the path that we need to take in order to pull back from the brink. “Countries for years have been operating off a model of world trade that advocates specializing in a few products and services for export, then importing the rest.” Recently we have started to experience the dark side of the trendy “Globalism Model”, which fosters excessive specialization and dependence upon WTO-pressured national trade policy compliance.

I'm glad you like the post, and thanks for linking. I agree that water is a BIG problem. And painfully underreported. I'm going to look into that more for a future post. Anthony, thank you!

You are correct with regards to the problems with food, but without access to water, there will be no food, expensive or otherwise. Thanks for your thoughts on this subject, Drea. I linked to your piece in my blog post today at the Innovators-Network with hopes of sending more readers your way. I look forward to more of your pieces! Food, yes, but clean water, more so!
