I am so inspired by Will Allen and his non-profit organization, “Growing Power.”
THIS is what we need to be doing for ourselves, people. We must break the chains of hunger that grips this nation. So many families are starving in our country. Millions are starving around the world! Mr. Allen’s vision and strategy could help alleviate hunger throughout the planet!
Just gaze at the map of the Milwaukee farm, a 2 acre plot that is the LAST remaining farm in the ‘city.’ It is an absolute inspiration. As you read about the other endeavors in the area, you’ll see that this is a thriving, workable and amazing effort! These are not only ‘farms’ but teaching centers… I’d like to call them instead, “inspiration centers,” because one can NOT be uninspired by this!
Governments are strugging to oversee their environmentally damaging, unsanitary, inhumane factory farms. Innovators like Mr. Allen and Joel Salatin of Polyface Farm, are trying to educate and reintroduce humane, environmentally conscious and Earth-healing farming.
Our farmer’s markets are only the starting place. We need our small farmers because they are our last link to good, clean, safe food. Farmers like Will Allen and Joel Salatin are few and far between. We need to have good food for all, everyone, everywhere!
