This is the first in an intermittent series of posts on my bioregion, and how it might create sustainable industries and a viable long term economy.  All of us are going to have to figure out how to create local economies where we are - we’re going to need the jobs, we’re going to need the goods, we’re going to need to think about the long term as we do it.  These are my musings on how New England and Northern NY might begin to adapt.  I hope others will consider how this might work in their region, and link to their considerations in comments. 

I suspect that we’ll be hearing “Go north and east, young man” in the next decades.  Why?  Well, drought for one.

sheep have their issues

short term

the future of sheep in the northeast may be as sustainable landscapers, that also provide wool and meat.
