What are you doing, or what do you want to do, or what do you think that people should do, in order to achieve food security and avoid the most severe impacts of the worldwide trend toward cost-of-living crises, resource depletion, tariffs and trade wars, impediments to migration, accelerating climate change, and so on?

Are you currently producing your own food? Do you think that you're secure where you are, or that you will be in a few years, or do you plan to move somewhere else?

Do you forage? Dumpster dive? Do you share food with friends and neighbours? Do you trade services for food?

Just wondering who is out there and how they're managing...

We helped build the seed library at our town's library and volunteer at the community garden there as well. This has put us in touch with other growers in the area and we've been talking up mutual aid networks and sharing (and receiving) food in that group and with our neighbors. We barter plants with a nearby guy who grows culinary mushrooms, eggs with the neighbors who hunt, and take hikes with the neighbor who's been foraging wild mushies for decades
