In the globalized world we have relied too much on taking things for granted, driven by a desire to produce always cheaper and pay less for essentials.
I’m not a local protectionist, far from but the solution is to pay more, pay more for local produce. Always was.
The race to the price bottom creates a fake sense of easy, while forcing local producers to adapt to the demand of foreign markets rather than catering to a diverse (complete?) local market first.
