Soil and Food

Grow Something to Eat

Growing food builds resilience by connecting us to the soil and reducing reliance on long supply chains. I will grow edible plants—such as herbs, vegetables, or grains—in my home, balcony, or community space, strengthening both my food security and local biodiversity.

COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Soil and Food

Preserve or Store Food

Preserving food through freezing, drying, or fermenting helps food last longer, reduces waste, and ensures supplies during difficult times. I will preserve or store food during the challenge to strengthen household and community resilience.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Soil and Food

What did you decide to grow, and how did it feel to start (or care for) your plants? What connections did it give you to soil or food resilience?

I've done this previously, but had dropped away from the habit lately. I like to grow some vegetables from scraps or offcuts after prep for cooking. green onions are the easiest example, and the first one I'll be restarting with. I've saved the white/root end of the 2 green onions that I prepped for the next couple meals, and placed them in a mason jar with enough water to cover the roots. they'll be producing more greens within a few days, can be harvested multiple times, and are absolutely tasty over ramen and a fried egg.

  I really want to start doing more growing things from cooking scraps rather than just from seeds and plants.
