Commentaar Vrouwenpartij: geef iedereen naast een basisinkomen ook een volkstuintje om biologisch eigen groente, fruit en bloemen te kweken en oogsten.
While most of the world is completely dependent on industrial agriculture, the Russian people feed themselves.
As recently as 2011, a full 40% of the food produced in Russia came from small, household gardens called dachas.
That number is down from the peak of the communist era, when 90% of the nation’s food came from dachas – small plots of land given to the people by the government for growing food.
But 40% is still huge compared to the less than 1% of American food still grown on small, family-owned farms.
In colonial America, farming was the primary livelihood for 90% of the population. Today, farmers and ranchers represent only 1 percent of employed Americans.
