There are serious costs to consider when you submit everything to the ideal (idol?) of efficiency. Regardless, the type of local I'm most interested in is people growing food in their own backyards. Dependence on food supply chains is a single point of failure that is completely unnecessary.
- Retric 8y agoAs an ideal it seems like a good idea. However, you need to grow a lot of food to avoid that dependence. In terms of disaster preparedness having actual food stored is also much more valuable than growing plants that can’t be moved. Thus, you’re either talking about a meaningless token, or a huge life commitment for minimal gain.
