If you'd like to make some baby steps towards #foodSovereignty you can:
🌱Plant live lettuces in a plant pot and they'll regrow for quite a while.
🌱Plant the rooty-butts of onions and grow more onions.
🌱Stick bits of rooty potatoes into pots and get more potatoes.
🌱Fresh herbs can often be rooted in water and then planted for more mint, basil, etc.
(things I have all done lazily and successfully w a bit o trial and error).

The country may be going through a crisis that is invisible to the outside world, which prefers to reduce the country to a chronically unviable nation, where aid efforts are useless. But the so-called “poorest country in the Western Hemisphere” – another label that reinforces the notion of impotence of those who see it from the outside – shows that it is developing solutions to its own problems and has much to teach the rest of the world.

Our next newsletter will discuss something that maybe you've been thinking about (but probably not): raising chickens in a dryland environment. What aspects of care are different? How do chickens fit into a regenerative project? What alternatives to chickens are there and what differences are there in the niche they fill?
If your land is not arid or dryland, but you are concerned about increasing temperatures and more frequent droughts, some of the care information in this post may be useful as your environment changes in the near future.
I hope to release this early this week, but don't forget to subscribe so that you don't miss it in your inbox.
And please consider subscribing at our supporter tier for fun gifts twice a year and access to additional information - this month I'll be releasing a delightful recipe for paid subscribers only. We could use your support to keep this space going. Thank you!
