Food for thought: Each day the planet welcomes 216,000 new people (births minus deaths). To feed them, we ought to be “welcoming” 34,000 new acres of farmable soil into production each day (roughly 40 Central Parks!) when in fact we’re losing farmland due to erosion, desertification, and sprawl. Please put the “farmland” you have some control over (aka your yard, that empty lot you’ve been eyeing in town, your schoolyard) into production this spring by planting a garden or urban farm. It may seem small, but it all adds up!
