I see this as creation of more resiliency for our civilization through decentralized supply chains that can adapt to local conditions and cultures.
One of my favorite Million quotes is "True security comes only from looking out your window andseeing food growing and your neighbors working." I prefer not to see my neighbors, but to have self reliant peers nearby and would add 'data, energy, water, & waste collection/transformation/transmission systems' to my view out the window.
