Ppl on here be like "you can't feed a family of four on a backyard garden"
Not if you plant like a craquer you can't lol.
Like yes assuming urban farming will fix our food scarcity and food apartheid areas is totally silly.
But so is talking out your ass when plenty hood Grammas feed they family fully on veggies they grow in porch bins.
If you planting only rows of shit spaced 6 inches apart then ya you gonna grow for shit. Das YT gardening though
Shyt in Little Village in Chicago I met so Abuelas who had not but ten feet of yard FILLED with veg and housing a few chickens.
Old Brown and Black people are amazing go learn from them
Also if you collectivize with your hood you make better food systems. Like say one homie is bad with veggies but can grow fruit trees like a mug, or doesn't mind raising back yard chickens, welp divide up jobs based on space needs, and skill sets.
You have an elder who owns a home but cannot take care of the yard space, ask them to use their yard, stick around and help them do chores. BAM. You are protecting an Elder by creating multigeneration connections.
People during the World Wars regularly survived and supplemented their diets by doing this, learn to can and pickle. Or figure out if you have a friend who likes that part but not dirt. Ask for help, ppl generally do want to help and be a part of something more communal
I'm saying this because again it seems like yt Commies missed the briefing about actually reaching out and forming active camaraderie with ppl, rather then lecturing them about being st*p*d b/c they can't quote Marx
even though I was raised up Urban/guerilla farming, got my first job at 13 through the city...as an urban farmer, went to a rez program to volunteer my skills as farmer. I am sure some silly Vanilla Vulture is gon try an 'splain to me how my life experience means nothing -
cause *fart noise* they read a book by another Craquer who says so lollololololololololololol
