Many roads to self-sufficiency

There are many roads to self-sufficiency. Check out these innovative pilots featured this week in The Guardian:

• WWII shelter tunnels produce microorganisms;

• "lifted gardens" over parking spots provide car shade;

• self-powered solar greenhouses;

• off-grid eco-Villages;

• floating farms;

• edible schoolyards;

• roof-top Spirulina production....

The possibilities are infinite where there is political will and citizen participation.
