On average, the food on our grocers’ shelves has travelled 1500 miles, often from parts of the globe you aren’t familiar with. Your grocer typically stocks 3 days worth of food. We’ve all seen the empty shelves of gulf coast grocers when a hurricane bears down and people stock up.
Can you guarantee your food supply? Is the produce fresh? Is the produce healthy?
Have you stocked the basics? Can you grow a large percentage of your produce without depleting stored fuel supplies?
What's The Answer?
