Thank you for your interest and comment on our article. We agree there are many complexities to food production whether in an urban or rural setting. We hope the message that it’s not a ‘them and us’ scenario gets through to people and influences a change in behaviour.
Where are you located, Arvid?

I have lived my 69 years in a mixture of urban and rural settings. There is a continuum between these settings. The biggest barrier between the local growing and the consumer is consumer attitude. A vast number of urban consumers (e.g. vote liberal) want to eat but not see compost being made, not dispose of food waste separately, and just don’t like being around farmers. I have had profanity yelled at me for fallowing urban food plots instead of growing lawn grass. I have no grass in my urban lot, catch rainwater and to drop and hand watering. This sea change among lip service hobby environmentalists is the starting place for sustainable agriculture.
