Environmental Risk Assessment of Genetically Modified Organisms
The title is a misnomer. Hardwick, VT has not been saved by food but this agricultural community has spawned some nascent organic food companies - and good for them. I enjoyed the personal stories and the exploration of some of the controversies surrounding a couple of those businesses getting some good press, such as a a 2008 NYT piece, and trying to establish themselves as community change agents to the annoyance of some of the more established organic farmers. No new local food system has yet been set up since the locals are not the primary consumers of the end products. The bulk of the revenue seems to come from outside the region and none of the new businesses have yet achieved profitability. Still these businesses have value in that they are attempting to prove the economic viability of providing organic food.
While I enjoyed the slice of rural life aspect of the book, I really did not enjoy the writing, especially during the first 50 pages. The author's style is frequently clumsy and he spends too much time pontificating on the end of life as we know it and is too focused on the media attention the town received for a short period of time. While reading this book, I met a mathematical forecaster for an options firm whose job entails removing the media noise to more accurately identify actual business and environmental trends. He stated that in the short-term it's always the noise that is most dominant. This book had too much noise obscuring the actual trends.
