<div><font face="Geneva">"As compared with their conventional
counterparts, local food systems may conserve natural resources but
their large-scale capacity has been generally untested. A newly
developed model estimates how many calories could be produced by
farms within a radius of every US city, and shows that up to 90%
of Americans could be fed entirely with food grown or raised
within 100 miles of their homes."</font></div>
