The simple act of growing ones own food is the most important revolutionary action most people can readily engage in, right now. You can finish reading this blog and go outside smother some grass and plant some squash seeds. And you will be better off than you were when you woke up this morning, in a myriad of ways. Gardening is a re-enfranchising activity. Growing your own food lessens your dependence on the food corp system. If most people could grow just 10 or 20% of their own food, the world would look a lot different. In southern climates it's possible to sustain 90% for yourself year round, with a normal sub-urban backyard. And in the northern climate you can still produce 50 - 70% of your own food year round, if you plan ahead.
I feel like I am taking my power back, by empowering me to sustain my family, and dis-empowering some food corporation to profit from me.
