Check it out! The UK village of Martin is now producing enough food to feed most of its residents.
The community-based cooperative, called FutureFarms, was the brainchild of Nick Snelgar who organized the first village meeting in 2003. Today, FutureFarms grows 45 types of vegetables and raises free-range animals and is well on the way to helping the village be completely self-sufficient in food.
Makes you realize the power that people have at the grassroots level to make real changes to the food system.
