About the Book

"Sustainable Food for the Globe, One Square Foot at a Time" came about in the strangest way. In August of 2012, the where two news items that caught my attention.The first was a challenge made by a group calling themselves "The B Team". The statement was made that business as usual is currently not working, nor taking care of the needs of the people in our planet. The challenge - that now is the time to modify our mindsets and take a look at what each individual can change to bring about a stronger, richer and more abundant Global community. Secondly, during that same time period, there where lots of comments made by so-called "experts", stating that the world would run out of food by the year 2050. What a paradox, on the one hand, a group of invigorated people ready to take a challenge and create a better world; and on the other hand "nay-sayers" stating that humankind would expire in less than 37 years due to mass starvation. As a gardener, both news items drew my attention. First, as someone who enjoys working with the earth, I am in awe of how a small seed put in a little bit of earth; tended to, making sure it has sun and water, can come out of the ground as a seedling and within a short period of time becomes a food-producing plant. So I started doing research on these two issues. What I found out about the "nay-sayers" group made me very angry and what I found out about the group making the challenge made me very hopeful. Thinking about these two issues made me search for simple yet effective answers; How to create worldwide food production in Abundance? So in this book I celebrate the first step of this journey; doing research, asking the first few questions of many -focusing on how are we going to deal with this mess? I invite you to ask questions and reflect on answers that might help our little bit of earth. I have a feeling that millions and millions of people working together can ensure worldwide food production in Abundance for our children, our families and communities where ever in the world they are found.
About the Author: Mrs. Burnson is a U.S. Navy Veteran from the Vietnam Era. When she and her husband left the military, they came to live in Chicago, Illinois. You will quickly get used to their standard welcome: "Greetings from Chicago!" Both attended The University of Illinois at Chicago, using their GI Bills to pay for their studies. Mrs. Burnson pursued a business degree focusing on international trade. Eventually, after working for several Export Management Companies, she opened her own EMC supplying U.S. manufactured medical equipment worldwide. During that time she also taught a very popular Import/Export class for MONNACEP, located at Oakton Community College in Des Plaines, Illinois. In 1994 she retired and steadfastly pursued her passions. Papillons, her furbabies, & gardening. An avid gardener, with over 22 years of experience, she is actively involved with National and International Agriculture and Rural Development communities. Part of her work is creating a repeatable pilot program that will put U.S. Veterans and young adults back to work - side by side - in worldwide food production. Being open to your new and creative ideas, please come come and share these experiences with the G+ Community: Sustainable Food for the Globe. If Mother Jones where here today she might say: " Pray for the dead, but garden like heck for the living." ABUNDANZA!
