How One Man’s Survival Story Reminds Us of the Power of Self-Sufficiency. What happens when billionaires rank profits over people? Or when a single fire wipes out millions of pounds of food?
Start by planting food crops in random places in your area. Focus on those plants that either: grow and produce quickly, self-seeding through/after winter (goji, tomatoes, potatoes, sesame/perilla, hempseed, blackberries, etc), or produce consistently for decades or hundreds of years (pine nuts, hickory, chestnut, walnut, apple, pear, persimmon).
If you live in an apartment, you can always ninja sow in public parks, forests and other secluded/neglected areas of your neighbourhood.
If all of that is too hard, it is never to late to learn foraging for your climate/region/continent.
They are out to create food scarcity. A deliberate act against us all in the West. Here in UK farmers are being targeted by government, if you have an allotment and chickens they must be registered, also they’re starting to control those homes that have/use wood burning fires/stoves! We must push back against these cowards!
Yes, I'm aware of the situation in UK. There's a plan behind it. Too much coincidence, it doesn't add up. I'm afraid, peaceful demonstrations will come to an end. People are ready to shift gears ⚙️ 😒
The University of Michigan, if you can believe it has conducted a study supposedly showing that backyard gardening is a danger because of the carbon footprint being 6X that of conventionally grown produce. Bull! There is are many ways backyard gardening, from collecting seeds, to improving soil, and minimal irrigation. Multipurpose gardening.
This is another example of the assault on our food security. Sure to be trotted out when governments impose their egregious bans. Like states banning collection of rainwater.

Cheers.
Right on!!Paw paws, sunchokes, horse radish, rhubarb, asparagus, elderberries, etc. etc. It will help someone some day, maybe even ourselves!
Great comment, thanks.
Yes, especially the perennials are a perfect investment. So easy to plant and to keep them for years.
Thank you for your meaningful comment J.P.
Indeed, there are many creative ways to start gardening. And foraging is the last bastion we hopefully never need to survive...
Valid points and ideas. Guerilla gardening is a thing. And could be one artform of saving a lot of people. Thank you for your interesting comment.

Completely fabricated nonsense in these studies. Horrible how easy scientists are willing to produce the results for the narrative 😕
