Organics is not just an approach to farming or gardening. It is an approach to economic survival, farm evolution and relationships with customers, input manufacturers and the community. Hear Benjamin Gisin, one of the nation's most outspoken banking and economic experts (and publisher of Touch the Soil magazine) put the future of organics into perspective and raise your sights in creating an organic world. Even the financial sector will have to take on a sustainable organic character or get out of the way.
Also
Meet principals/owners of four of the nation's top (organic fertilizer, soil amendment and animal repellent) manufacturers.

The shortcomings of the industrial food system will continue to fuel organic and local organic. Food loses, chemical and fossil fuel-fertilizer input costs and long distances of travel will challenge the economics of conventional food, opening doors for organic farmers to provide local/regional food security services.
The financial industry's artificial shrinking of the economy means people will seek out work-for-food arrangements. Farmers ready to capitalize on this trend will conserve their cash positions and improve economic survival. On-farm training (for a fee) for people wanting to be more proficient a farm labor will emerge. The market for sub-prime produce (that which historically is culled, plowed under or thrown away ) will grow, meaning additional cash flows from all the tonnage a farm produces.
Organic farmers that realize their business role goes far beyond the food that comes off the farm will prosper and grow.
BONUS: A short segment on the financial crisis and a true organic solution the nation can get behind without cost to the taxpayer
