31. As much as I enjoy gardening, urban gardens are not the only answer

By all means encourage everyone to grown some of their own food, even if it's just a pot of herbs. But it's not a solution for everyone and everything. It requires time, land and commitment; sure, we can encourage cities to turn vacant lots into gardens and provide training and basic materials, but this is not going to make everyone self-sufficient.

There is no one solution. One of the best things about encouraging local urban gardens is that it can introduce people to what real, fresh produce can taste like, and get them to demand the same from grocers.
