All your emails raised some great points. Some will be interested in gardening/farming. Organic, no-till gardening and farming in permanent beds does not require the purchase of anything except seed. Of course, if irrigation is required, water needs to be available. A few hand tools is all that is needed. Land is available, free to use, in most cities. The market is all around.
Maybe one solution is a gardening training school. There is a worldwide organization of self-supporting schools [most are agriculture] who sell the production to support the school and the students provide the labor, etc. http://hopebuilding.pbwiki.com/Paraguayan+school+brings+agricultural+education+to+low+income+areas http://www.teachamantofish.org.uk/aboutus.php http://www.teachamantofish.org.uk/resources/schoolinabox.php Ken Hargesheimer -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
