Any country that pretend to develop and keep some independence need to prioritize a minimum of food production. That's a strategic need. Europe is a good example of that, where food production is strongly protected. I bet is the same in the States.

The point of the original post is that those "independent actors" are not "independents", not from Ethiopia.

To turn this back to software, I am strongly reminded of Joel Spolsky’s discussion of when and what to outsource:

“If it’s a core business function — do it yourself, no matter what.”
