I loved your article! I live in Germany and there I am experiencing by myself how bad the situation in food quality and availibility is. I don't want to say that all is bad, this country may be rich, but actually you have to go to organic stores and buy really expensive fruits and vegetables if you want to stay healthy. I wouldn't trust the supermarkets here anymore, their fruits and vegetables are huge but unfortunately taste like water and nothing else :( I'm thinking about growing my own potatoes or something like that this year. But actually I would like to start something like the "food is free"-project. I don't know yet if I am really willing to go out there and ask my neigbours if they are interested in sharing their spaces and start growing fruits and vegetables. Maybe I just start by making my first experiences. But I will definitely go on reading about permaculture. This is a very important issue and your post is very important in this movement too. Please go on to share your experiences!
