If everyone knew how to grow food locally there would be less transportation waste, more community, & stronger immune systems from working the dirt with hands instead of exclusively machines.

Growing food does not require a quantity of time that would interfere with work - bulk labor is required for planting and harvesting, but monitoring growth throughout the season is a great pre/post work activity to share with others.
