NehaNBB 8yr I'm not a researcher or an urban farmer, but I have had a garden before and was able to grow a lot. That doesn't mean it's 'enough' but some is better than none. We also have a ton of underutilized space in urban environments, e.g. rooftops. Now I have never grown anything on a rooftop, but others have, and they seem to be successful. -
rt1813 8yr The biggest challenge is in making the production make economic sense - it's great to produce and to be able to have greater control over your own food, but it can't really be sustained if you're losing money at it.

DietID_TeamDietitians This is such a big deal. I'm curious if this new federal ruling will ensure more restaurants will move to a no tipping model to ensure they can compensate chefs their well-deserved overtime pay....

Riki I suspect there are some harmless GMOs, and harmful GMO food products.
My hunch is that Monsanto GMO corn with embedded pesticides is not great for human health.

DietID_TeamDietitians Totally agree @riki it's shocking how much of the developed world has banned GMOs
