Why should I create an ecosystem in my backyard?
In North America the average distance that food travels to get from where it is grown to where you eat it is 1300 miles. This means that, at best, when you bite into that apple or potato, brussel sprout or corn, it is already many days old. Is it still fresh? Hardly. It also means that you and your family are reliant on a national transportation system in order for you to put supper on the table. Think of the difference in freshness and independence you achieve when you can step out your back door and pick dinner.
In addition, by growing your own food in an ecological way, you will be contributing to a healthy, vibrant ecosystem where all of Life has a place. Birds, bees, butterflies and other beings will benefit from your creation.
