Comments on: Community Intervale, VT http://sustainableroute.com/2006/09/community-intervale-vt/ Ashley Hodson and Megan Mclaughlin went on a road trip around the country exploring the wide world of sustainability. They've worked long and hard to bring you videos about everyday folks and their flavors of environmental responsibility!

I really like their project so thanks for highlighting it. some of the SRI farms are setup in a similar manner in Aus. I didn't realise only 1% in US farm if what a previous commenter says is true. sounds like you need lots more of these systems or there could be trouble in future! does the govt provide assistance (financial/tax breaks) for farmers as incentives? great video.

Making something like this a mini-series branching out wihtin the larger project. The extra footage could, at the end of the trip, be used to add on more segments to something like this video.

If someone asked I couldn't give a proper answer. This series will help me and other folks put context to that question and help us to build answers. My maternal grandmother was a farmer so I dig this concept 100%. You ladies are doing a great job. Hang in there.

Thanks so much. I loved the whole idea of sharing the capital cost among many 'farmlings'. It's really practical cooperative economics. Great work! That’s a great clip. Thanks so much.

Some people come right out and say what they think is is and others are less upfront with their models of 'sustainability'. This will come with time as we put more of our conversations with people up. We're about to meet with an organization in Toronto which will hopefully be a follow up to your questions about local food. Keep it coming, ashley Great questions Enric,

However, I would be interested in a definition or exposition of what the term "sustainble" means. And a critical look into it. Questions like if all foods was grown locally, wouldn't that limit the availability of different foods? Is efficiency lost with only locally grown food? Is sustainability a mixture of local and non-local food? Etc. This is interesting information and valuable.
