"To grow everything you need, it would take a lot of land. But no one is truly self-sufficient in that way, and none of us need to be,” Deppe explains. "We are not all situated to garden in every year of our lives. Nor can we grow every kind of crop that can be grown in our region. But we can be developing a repertoire of information about what is grown in our area, who grows it, and how to store, preserve and use it.
"We can develop knowledge and patterns with respect to these crops that enhance our day-to-day quality if life, our personal resilience, and the resilience of our communities."
