Securing Our Food Systems Needs To Be Our Number One Priority
With food prices soaring, people are looking for ways to grow their own and become more self-sufficient. Food isn’t what it used to be, so much of what we eat today lacks nutrition. Finding healthy, clean and nutritious food is getting harder every day. This is one of the reasons that Robert Specian and Matt Haynes started The Community Harvest Project.
In the third issue of the ASC magazine Robert Specian shared the vision that he and his partner have. “Food isn’t just about survival; it is about saving families money and helping them to engage in healthier eating habits”. Food is an investment in your own health. Most people don’t bat an eyelid about investing in things that will make them money. Why don’t we see sustainable food systems as an investment? If you don’t have your health, then lots of your money will go into finding ways to get healthy. Doesn’t it just make sense to maintain health with good food?

What if your investment in your health and sustainable living saved you lots of money? Isn’t this the way we should be thinking about aquaponics, sustainable living and our future? Our current farming practices are not sustainable. They are struggling to keep up with the demand. This is clearly evident in the consistent food prices hikes we see every season. Why wait until its crunch time and you have no choice but to grow your own food?
Setting up an aquaponics system to grow your own food doesn’t need to break the bank. There are plenty of DIY plans on the internet as well as online communities that will help you. One such community is called the Aquaponics Survival Community on Facebook. You can join here at: https://www.facebook.com/AquaponicsSurvivalCommunities
Who would want to invest in the stock market right now? It fluctuates daily and you can earn money one minute and lose it the next. Sustainable living on the other hand is stable, economical and healthy. Growing your own food is fun especially when you save money and reduce your dependence on a system that is crumbling.
