Dont get me wro...Impose was the wrong term from me.<br />Dont get me wrong, your document definately struck a chord with me, just that I am impatient & want to see things change here, is all.<br />Did you feel weird walking amongst all those 'seemingly expendable 'worker bees' knowing you can come back here to a different life? I'm not being insensitive here, just feel insulated to a degree to the whole GFS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195036990155736213.post-64226226659748155292009-05-20T14:40:22.317+10:002009-05-20T14:40:22.317+10:00Hi Steve

I am awed!! then a choice of 10 jamon all on the hoof covered with zen like moulds from an extraordinary food hall... all legal of course<br /><br />I wrote that document 3 years ago, feel quite proud of it. Many of the initiatives have started if not in our area then in others.<br />I dont belive in imposing anything on anyone but merely expressing a long term vision where it goes beyond single small enterprises into many using the local conditions to create a sense of place. It already happens with the primary products but they need to be able to be identified..... this discussion is a long and important journey.<br />Also had a very sobering early morning walk "put it into pespective moment" stumbling over the many hundreds of aging men sleeping rough as a result of the last Japanese meltdown... they never got back into society Quite Orwellian. Off to Kanawaza<br />Cant wait to write about it....George Biron https://www.blogger.com/profile/03592491708632830206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195036990155736213.post-89112703511696481992009-05-20T12:05:30.188+10:002009-05-20T12:05:30.188+10:00Hi George, have a good break
I read you article in...Hi George, have a good break<br />I read you article in full & found that we face similar issues here in rural Tas.<br />Whilst I think its good to try & create a sort of applelation for specific regions & produce here in OZ, we simply dont have a demonstrated culture of it & its hard to impose it & make it stick.<br />We can relate to chooks from Bresse, apples from Normandy etc but there would be very few examples of this happening here. I spose oranges from the riverland & apples from the Huon stand out but not like the whole of Europe where each region has become famous for its particular produce.<br />Not saying I dont see the value in aspiring to this model, but they have had 100's of years to get to this point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195036990155736213.post-23476571309635086142009-05-15T10:53:00.000+10:002009-05-15T10:53:00.000+10:00cant wait till you come back George, Nathan and I ...cant wait till you come back George, Nathan and I will be paying you guys another visit, definitly in asparagus season but maybe during winter too<br /><br />have a good breakRanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06568352148465203176noreply@blogger.com
