ACT2 - Mission 2: Increase the food security of at least one person in your community
I think that it is difficult and kind of boring to increase the food security on your own. I would lack motivation to keep up with my work, especially knowing that I can buy food from a supermarket at anytime. This is why I'm planning on starting my own gardening club. I'll invite friends to join in order to set up and work on the garden together. We will plant our own fruit trees and vegetables. Once a year we will hold a "banquet" (probably a stand on a marketplace) with food from our garden and invite people to have a small meal. This will also help us to gain new members who might be interested in growing his own food.
I'm currently also helping my parents growing vegetables and fruits in our garden. We have planted different Chinese vegetables (my grandma sent us seeds from China) and strawberries. Since summer is coming, I'm hoping to eat the strawberries soon.

This is an idea where America is ahead of us: community gardens are quite well established there, probably not everywhere but i've seen quite some. I'm looking forward to have similar gardens here (but not the Kleingartenverein things ;-) )

No I haven't. Do you have any online information about it? On Google I've found only stuff about the fairy-tail and plants^^

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
