TOP: Missoula in 1909, K. Ross Toole Archives, University of Montana Hughes Gardens. Diverse farms, such as the one pictured above, and an associated processing industry met the needs of Missoula’s population in the early 20th century. BELOW: The same view today illustrates the loss of much of our local food production. Now, about 85-90% of our food comes from someplace else. We depend on a tremendous amount of fossil fuel, extensive transportation networks, and a small number of food distributors, retailers, and food services to move food from field to plate. But how secure is that food system? Photo by Yogesh Simpson.
