Today, we’re accustomed to fast food, convenience and prepackaged meals, and concrete city living.
Did you know?
By the end of WWII, 40% of all vegetables were grown in backyard victory gardens.
We learned how to grow our own beans, beets, cabbage, carrots, kale, kohlrabi, lettuce, peas, tomatoes, turnips, squash and Swiss chard.
But there are ways each one of us can begin to grow our own food, regardless of living situation. During the time of COVID-19, this is an act of global citizenship.
We can revisit these simple ways to be more self-sustainable and connect with our land, as well as our relationship to food supply, health and nutrition. Let’s begin.
“Starting a garden was so much easier than I expected. Now I’m growing and eating my own vegetables, fruits, and herbs.”
Start with the space you have.
If you think you need to live on a farm or acreage to have a garden - you’d be surprised! Home gardening can be successful in an apartment as well as a plot of land.

Everything we do is connected to the earth at large. Hand in hand with our strategy to connect people to their land, we have launched a large-scale tree planting initiative to connect the world’s most effective organizations and combat climate change
It’s time to grow the change
that we wish to see in the world.
It’s time to reconnect with the land we live on and the food that brings us life.
It’s time to become more self-sustaining, to understand what’s good for our bodies and how simple it can be to obtain it.
We have forgotten what’s possible, but we can remember and learn again.
