I'm glad you have success with your garden, but I have to disagree with the general characterization that the world could feed itself if everyone planted a garden. I live in a climate conducive to raising vegetables, but after several years of experimentation, have never had a tomato plant put out more than five edible fruit. I have a small orchard of different types of trees, but no way could some fruit substitute for feeding us year-round if we didn't have a grocery store. Some of my trees are 15-20 years old. Who has that kind of time?
Because of pests, soil diseases, poor climate, etc., most people couldn't feed themselves if they had to depend solely upon their own garden...through no fault of their own.
I dont think anyone is saying the entire world could be fed if we only have gardens at each home. But supplementing our supply of food with millions upon millions of home gardens growing some vegetables will take a massive strain off the supply lines and large farms
This.
50% of our calorific intake is from wheats, grains, etc.
