A nice idea, but there are flaws to it, don't you think?

Local climate would not allow many to even consider this.

Ah, a good point.

I have witnessed this when I visited my relatives who live in Mexico. They would barter for each other's food. My relatives owned a tortilleria and had a pig farm, their neighbors had cows and chickens. Best breakfast I ever had, freshly squeezed milk and I didn't get sick!

Don't try that today the raw milk has been carrying bird flu...

@Lizard_of_Ahaz That's right! Well this was in a small town in Mexico back in the 80's.

@michelle666gar Before Bird flu... Different times different problems...

@Lizard_of_Ahaz True!

Monocropping not the way.

Actually, that's a good point. Humans started trading in the form of barter and that practice evolved over centuries to how we do it today. The profit-first culture was also developed.

I enjoy growing my own vegetables, but it costs time, effort and money. It's certainly not free.

I love having an organic garden, and it actually does save me money. I give the surplus to the local food bank. I found a free seed swap event at a local church this spring, oddly enough. 🙂

I can't think of any, except for some peoples' selfishness. People don't need lawns. They need food. In cities, it would be a lot harder.
