Home Farming Revolution For Drylands

by Melanie Rubin, Zoe Edrington-Wilcox

Overview

The benefits of creating home farms in our towns and cities are as
plentiful as the bounty they produce. We need healthy food in order to be
healthy. The United States faces a growing number of health concerns that
may be catalyzed or exaggerated by poor nutrition in this, the “wealthiest
nation in the world.” Wilcox and Rubin believe a person shouldn’t have to
be wealthy to eat healthy! Home farming provides healthy, organic food at
peak freshness to all people despite economic status or location.
