The farms in the Lehigh Valley are going away as well at an alarming rate with warehouses now continuously being being built on what once was valuable food producing land. The United States used to be the food basket of the world. This is no longer the case as we rely more and more on importing our foods from other countries.
While many are focusing on what happens in Afghanistan and fighting among ourselves over wearing masks we are facing far greater challenges in the future. I suppose if the pandemic doesn't get us the lack of food and water will. So much so that it can no longer be ignored. All these will greatly impact the economy as well as all those lost manufacturing jobs. These are troubling times.
