Post Carbon Fellow Michael Shuman's involvement in increasing local food production was reported in this article on Cleveland.com.
From the article:
A dramatic shift in that local food production -- from 1 percent to 25 percent -- would produce the new jobs (11,500 direct jobs and more than 6,500 indirect) and tax revenues mentioned earlier. Those preliminary job and tax projections come from Michael Shuman, hired with a Cleveland Foundation grant to prepare a study detailing exactly how Northeast Ohio can, over time, reach that 25 percent threshold.Working with Shuman will be the project's managers, notably ParkWorks, Neighborhood Progress Inc., the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Food Policy Coalition and Kent State University's Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative.Shuman is no quack. He's a Stanford-educated economist and lawyer, the author of seven books, and widely considered the nation's leading expert on how communities can significantly increase their share of locally produced food.
