The idea of creating a truly sustainable world and having direct knowledge of our food production are vital impetuses to the work we do at PG. This section is a compilation of concepts we feel are important in the quest of knowing what we are eating and delivering sustainable human practice.

Food Movement: We have gone from hunter gathers to slothful Agri-business in the 10,000 years or so since domestication. We can do a lot better than that. PG coined the term "Food Movement" in order to provide focus on the most important aspect of food production- healthy and nutritious foodstuff.

Big Ag: Did you know the majority of the food we produce in America is cultivated by relatively few corporations? Is this good or bad? Knowledge is power.

Food and Population: We are reaching the threshold of our ability to produce and deliver food to the Earth's growing population. With a little imagination and common sense we can cross this one off the list.

GMO's: What is a genetically modified organism (GMO), why are they, an do we need them?

Food Security: If we can produce enough but cannot get it there, shouldn't we grow it where it is needed?

Food Irradiation: Get informed on what's happening to your food.

Subsidies: The government is the conduit of the people. Learn how they are squandering your money so you can tell your representatives what's what.

Local Agriculture: At the heart of what PG does, localizing food production can have incalculable repercussions on the waste generated by humanity.

Buying Power: Everyone has it, they just may not realize it.

Fair Trade: That's "fair", not "free".

Gleaning: Odds are you're a gleaner and you didn't even know it.

Urban Agriculture: More and more people are leaving the city for the suburbs. Why not replace them with the fields that we are developing to accommodate us?

Indoor Environments: Be informed on how to make your living environment safe for you and your family.

What You Can Do: We hope to develop this section as we go as a resource for things, events, practices we can all be involved in to make our world a more reasonable, healthy, and sensible place. Let us know what we can do.
