[getsmart-l] American Planning Assoc Releases Policy Guide on Food Planning

[John O'Gorman]

"Food is a sustaining and enduring necessity. Yet among the basic essentials 
for life - air, water, shelter, and food - only food has been absent over 
the years as a focus of serious professional planning interest. This is a 
puzzling omission because, as a discipline, planning marks its 
distinctiveness by being comprehensive in scope and attentive to the 
temporal dimensions and spatial interconnections among important facets of 
community life."
