A crash course in changing the world.
The New roots Urban farm, and the end of the lawn.
I live in University city, MO. The biggest food security problem around here is that all of our food isn't from around here. We're a pretty typical semi-urban neighborhood: too close to the city to be abandoned, to far away to not be a suburb. The houses are old and solid and easy to retrofit: It's a hobby of mine. I personally live within walking distance of a grocer: my neighbors thing not having to drive to get their food is green living.
Any disruption to the distribution of food, and there will be nothing to eat around here.
Now I personally have converted my yard into a permaculture installation, and I have lots of food stored in my basement, and I'm eyeing the 1/2 acre of south facing land behind my house. But I'm not growing enough to feed my wh*** family, much less the neighborhood.
Fortunately, this is where the New Roots Urban Farm comes in. Basically, you can contract them to convert your yard into a food garden for you. They'll plan it out, landscape and plant it for you. You just have to tend it and harvest it. It really takes the pain out of starting out. They also have their own farms around the city, and you can just buy a share in the harvest. I'm going to send you to their website.

If you look around your city, I can almost guarantee you'll find a similar organization who can help you get your personal or community gardens on track. Remember: Always have more than one way to get your necessities, one local, one global.

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

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
