Part one of a series of videos about some of the broader ideas and issues relation to getting more people to grow more of their own food. This first video focuses a lot on my own story, and the context in which this RED Gardens Project started.

0:00 Why?
0:58 Being an Outsider
3:27 Journey to food
5:10 Growing our own
6:36 No Skills or Credentials
8:20 Building a Home and Community
