Preparing for the Economy by Relocalization? 2 Months, 4 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
So much buzz lately about backyard vegetable gardens and stockpiling canned goods.

Is anyone here getting ready for the possibility of unaffordable produce? Become the ultimate locavore and buy some chickens and learn more about edible landscaping?

Is anyone making plans like this?

I'm thinking about it, localchick. My hometown is working hard on the buy local/relocalize movement. I hope that if it comes to really cutting costs that the local farmers could help the community.

But I also have no yard myself to speak of so cannot grow my own food! It'll be Twinkies and Campbell's for me.

It all depends on job security. If you have a job you could lose, then it won't matter if you planted a garden when there's no money for the mortgage.

But that's a super downer.

I can't help but feel like there will always be cheap food.

Is that naive?
