“Those that say it can’t be done should get out of the way of
those doing it” Chinese Proverb
Urban agriculture enthusiasts are not claiming to feed the
world; that would be as ludicrous a thought as believing Big Ag can do the
same. No matter how much those attempt to force the issue through monoculture
and field crops; nature will insist on providing what she can, when she can
under the conditions she has been given, combined with those she creates
herself.
Urban agriculture activists simply contribute to a stellar
example of Food Solidarity. Learning to work together to each provide a
solution to the puzzle of our food security issue is admirable. Consistently
searching for innovative growing methods that help (not hurt) the ecosystem is
brilliant.
Kudos to those unwilling to be deterred by yet another naysayer,
who's time and words are wasted on those willing to take the chance and offer a
unique approach to not just feeding the public but educating them as well, so
they might learn to feed themselves.
Sorry Mr. Hladik - in the name of Food Solidarity we remain
unswayed - next!!
