"If you can grow food, it's empowering. It's powerful. In fact, I would say that growing food is one of the most dangerous occupations on the face of this earth, because you are in danger of becoming free."
Imagine doing what these folks did... Turning your yard space into a full-grown organic garden where you harvest your own fruits, vegetables, and beans.
You can eat, sell, and trade the food you grow, and if enough people did this we could create a currency-free bartering system that is based around food.
By growing your own food, you no longer need to spend your money on eating out or shopping at corporate-owned grocery stores.
Feel free to discuss the pros, cons, and tips for growing your own food in this thread.

I like the idea of this, if people could organize and there were enough people in the community for this kind of thing, it would be a great start. Not only would it be healthy for people, it would also show people what we're willing to do. However, while i believe everyone should pull their own, i also believe we should take care of our own. If someone is in need, starving, and part of the cause. Help them, give them food, etc. Today's society is too focused on a "Me first" mentality. Only when people can learn to give up their worldly possessions to help their brothers, can you truly be free.

I'm bumping this topic because I feel it's something that would seriously liberate us in a major way. This is something I feel we all need to get in on- and it's probably one of the most practical and available solutions to start with.

Since when is living a self-sufficient lifestyle 'gay'? The pioneering men did this to survive- I doubt most people in our society today would be able to function, let alone survive without the system.
