    I think what's far more likely to happen is for shipping to get more expensive, local goods to improve their edge and the global hegemony of internationally-sourced goods to decrease. It isn't a feel-good farmer's market thing by my reckoning, it's a "leather goods made in Los Angeles that cost $8 extra to make are suddenly price-competitive when shipping leather goods from Vietnam costs $8.

How might this come about? Is it happening already? Also, I didn't know that about hazelnut trees.
