This article made me think and it is good to think, but shouldn't that thought be combined with action?
I have a lot of skills and I think that the beauty of each lies in just doing the thing and doing it well. As a photographer, my hope to take a true picture. As a chef, I am supposed to feed people. Yes, I would like to do each of these things well, but the calling is to actually do them. Right?
There are a lot of people in the world going hungry in the world right now. We live in a world where one in six people is going hungry at night and yet we are also known for throwing away nearly half of our food every day. I am horrible at math but I think there is something wrong with that.
We found a little piece of unused land so now we have the "where" what about the the rest?
When? There is a long growing season in SC. It begins in March with long sunny days that go long into October for traditional grow, and could be longer if done correctly, with year round growing of overwintering vegetables and more. But that's the future. Let's talk about what has to happen today. Major issue is getting the support for the thing to begin with.
Who... Us, me, you, and every other hand that we can get in on it. People who stay in the shelters, "guests of the city" (aka min. security inmates), officers who work in the community. Students, elderly, youth, and anyone with an able body and desire to help. Can't come out? Donate so that we can buy seeds, hoses, buckets, gloves, and whatever else. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/99knives/x/6821972
What...what not? We are going to do this well but cheap. We are going to call on people in the community to help build this and do it in a very ecologically sensitive way.
How...It is just going to take a lot of work but it is not like it has not been done before. People have been farming for thousands of years. It is just going to take a little time. Take some seeds, put them in the ground, watch them grow. People should not be hungry in America.
