This is how many Asians have been & still living. Either the front yard or backyard is full of veggies & plants.
"You dont have to solve everybody's problems to start solving some of them"
Damn thats a quote to live by
It's just a shame it's getting harder and harder for young people to own their own properties
Britain has a system of allotments in most urban communities. Their food supply chain issues are more pronounced than ours. I have a garden, bees, and used to have cattle on a commercial scale but wouldn't even on a small scale anymore because now suburban dogs harrass them. Free range chickens? Between the dogs and coyotes few would survive. My honey and produce cost mreo than I could buy them in a store and the quality is not correspondingly better.
Bro, I have been fiddling a bit each year in my backyard. First it was grass, mow I have a potato patch, grape vines from cuttings, a few cherry trees from seed, crab apples from seed, a few nut trees from seed, comfrey, all sorts of sage, mint and stuff and I am slowly becoming a pro at propegation and pruning.
You can be a a farmer for a few people or animals on just a few acres, but so far the only productive plants that I have are potatoes, garlic, and herbs.
Now if I could just get a neighbor to figure out how to refine sunflower oil or raise ducks, or something else greezy, I can make muh mcfreedom fries.
I have other unproductive plants, as well as semi producting wild edibles, but my point is that this stuff takes time to learn and practice.
I am a bit lazy, but I observe 90 percent of the time when I am out there and work 10 percent of the time.
My efforts are always free or low cost.
I think people should start asap, and think low tech and start small. Anyone can trow garlic and potatoes. Don't expect to be captain cornhusk over night or Brigadier General of strawberries in just 5 easy steps. Not all foods grow well in all areas.
For example celery is a bust for me and so is califlower.
