Abundant Food

“Abun­dant food is in the fal­low ground of the poor,
But it is swept away by injus­tice. ” ~Proverbs 13:23

Cur­rently I’m read­ing books about Agri­cul­ture. One is “Sepp Holzer: The Rebel Farmer”, another is “Edi­ble For­est Gar­dens: Eco­log­i­cal Vision and The­ory for Tem­per­ate Cli­mate Per­ma­cul­ture.” As you can prob­a­bly tell from the titles, the first is com­pletely down-to-earth, while the lat­ter has alot of “vision” and 50-cent words; but still is fun­da­men­tally chang­ing how I look at grow­ing food. That said: I have very lit­tle knowl­edge about grow­ing food in gen­eral, so this isn’t surprising!

I’m see­ing the com­plete truth in the above men­tioned proverb. This earth is teem­ing with life! Watch videos such as Green­ing the Desert & Farm­ing With Nature — Per­ma­cul­ture with Sepp Holzer and one can lit­er­ally see the poten­tial. As I read Holzer’s book the injus­tice high­lighted are civil ser­vants who won’t Lis­ten and Observe nature, but rather impose reg­u­la­tions as they were writ­ten. Add all the rest of mankind’s rebel­lion against God to the mix and you see what we have today.

I see plenty of “let’s cre­ate the per­fect world/humans through gar­dens” but seri­ously, I’m ok with putting up with (ignor­ing) that to learn a bit about neato agri­cul­ture. This earth is com­ing to an end, and when it my time to GO (Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus) I’ll be more than glad to drop my plow and go to that coun­try that I’ve been wait­ing for.
