We should also promote yard gardening. Some citites try to restrict citizens from planting veg. We had a townhome with less that 10 x10 area. We planted lots of herbs, greens, tomatoes and carrots. It meant we very rarely had to go get those items during the summer and fall. It does not have to be an all or nothing solution for sustaining food supply

Zoning laws. Some cities started to listen to advocates and allowed veg and chickens in yards for personal use

We had no bears in southern Ontario, still cities had restrictions. Also jerk neighbours wanted to see grass not vegetables in their neighbouring yards
