I think the Christchurch quake was a good example of how centralisation of products & services can affect things big-time. We need to decentralise again and support local first. I am seeing a good trend towards people becoming more and more aware of the importance of growing their own food and controlling what goes into it (no sprays etc).
I also think that big companies such as Fonterra put a lot of pressure on farmers for supply, so they have that to deal with too.

There are a few decentralized options in NZ it's just finding them, it would be neat to find and see more.
For Farmers it is hard with the pressures of big company's, that's why people need to look more at p2p options to help each other.
