Food Storage Principles

he fundamental principles of proper long term food storage are available not just at FoodReserves.com, but elsewhere.

In fact, a number of good web sites and newsgroups have information available, which is important. After all, despite our best efforts to develop a complete, comprehensive line of long-term storable foods, it is doubtful that you will have all your needs fulfilled by one company only. For variety's sake, it isn't even necessarily a good idea.

So, in the name of keeping our customers informed of what they need to know if they are going to observe good food storage practices, we provide the following comprehensive material for your review.

Prudent Food Storage - by Alan Hagan
Both these versions are a little over 320K, so please be patient as it loads.
Individual Preparation - Patty O'Riley (Cassandra Project)
Citizen's Action Guide (Utne Reader)

Because of Hagan's depth, detail, and the sheer number of his buying sources, some consider this the "mother of all food storage papers." If it isn't, it sure comes pretty close. O'Riley's report is less detailed in the food front, but is an excellent cross reference. We HAVE edited some material, using our own extensive background and expertise in food science. Hagan's work is Version 3.0 (Sept. 98 edition). We have made small revisions to both works for the benefit of our readers. Since Hagan's treatise is VERY LONG, we've taken the time to break the Table of Contents and their many articles into a frames version for those of you (which should be most) who are using browsers that support frames. Lastly, we've recently added the full link to the Utne Reader's, Citizen's Action Guide (which includes O'Riley's report). It contains a number of particularly rare and helpful articles on the importance of working within the community, with and without food storage as the primary consideration.
