Does local production entail urban areas having smaller or less dense populations? Mightn't energy used for extra passenger transport outweigh energy saved by reducing freight transport?
- minerjoe 6y agoDon't know. There are people in cities working on local food production such as aquaponics, vertical farming, rooftops, etc, but I live in a small town in western North America and that is the system I am attempting to analyze and influence. Its the low hanging fruit (ahem), in that if a small town can't do it, how can you expect a city.
