While we're on the subject of land/farming/food, I'd like to mention the Mennonites. In 1974, the Mennonite Central Committee published a cookbook called More-With-Less. This book did not only contain recipes, but also included "hundreds of spiritual reflections and practical tidbits about eating more simply." In the 1970s, an energy and global food crisis affected much of the world (sound familiar?). The book encourages Americans (those who consume consume consume), to use less so others could eat enough. I know this is small, and it's just a cookbook, but I think the mission of the MCC is still relevant. Check out their website and their Biblical Values and Principles for Global Economic Policies.
