Title: Village: Food
The Village
A set of links to topics of interest to the
Self-Sufficient Sustainable Village
Food
What is more basic than food? It is (one of) our (few) primary, daily,
essential connections
with the Universe. Providing it for ourselves is a radical, subversive act,
but no more radical or subservsive than the siezure of this capability by
the industrialized system. Lots and lots of possibilities here...to impose
some kind of organization, I've broken it up into the elements of the process:
growing |
preserving |
consuming |
locally self-sufficient system

Preserving
Food
News groups
Still searching for info on indigenous methods of food preservation (after
all, people have been eating for some 10,000 years, and only in the last
50 or so has most of our food been preserved by mega-corporations...if we
are going to be self-sufficient, we'll have to relearn old methods). A few
links to the more contemporary institutionalized, industrialized system:
