...Bautista is back - working for his uncle in a new carpentry business financed by a microcredit bank that the wives in Santa Cruz founded recently with all that remittance cash. Bautista made $6 an hour picking strawberries in Arizona, more than many laborers in Mexico earn in a day. But he's hopeful that he can comfortably support his wife and new baby by crafting doors, cabinets and coffins, products that people in Santa Cruz and surrounding villages once had to travel miles to buy.

"If you send it halfway around the world before it is eaten," he mused, "an organic food still may be 'good' for the consumer, but is it 'good' for the food system...
...customers care whether their food is local. Most who do, shop at farmers' markets. Also, there's not even a standard definition of what local means. To Nabhan, who inspired many local activists with Coming Home to Eat, it means eating within a 250-mile radius of his Arizona home. Many who blog at a site called eatlocalchallenge.com aim for a stricter "100-mile diet...
