Gardening as political action

Further to recent posts- one of the very obvious points about gardening / food productioon is the act of self reliance - food growing and gardening a space is an expression of freedom it serves as a first step if we don't rely on others for food we begin to break the stranglehold created by the dependency culture - but of course, our schools probably won't be making that an explicit part of the rationale for their rhubarb patch just yet ! Food is freedom - nearly finished the book and there is a chapter on this theme.
And while I'm here a note - look at paulo friere university...
