Small-scale, local farming is where it's at. Growing a bucket of potatoes on a balcony or helping out at a community garden are small but achievable steps to bring the food closer to us. In addition to sustainability, it promotes knowledge of how to produce our own food and reduces dependence on large-scale monoculture farming.
It's nice to walk a few paces and pick up an ingredient for dinner with the satisfaction that you nurtured it. But mainly, I just don't feel like going to the grocery store as much lol.

Small scale farming would not be able to sustain the human population as it stands.
No, but it will help. Do you currently have a plan if you were unable to purchase food at the store?
How does local farming help reduce systemic food waste?
It takes revenue away from a system that perpetuates it.
