Total Food Resilience in Todmorden

In the previous post Jon Jandai talks about the possibility of life being easy when you have, what he describes as, the 4 physical basics of life: Food, shelter, clothing and medicine.  If we have these things then we do not need to earn money, and aren't as vulnerable - although we most likely will want to earn money to extend our enjoyment of life!  But it is the needing that has many of us so stressed out (it also doesn't help that many of us don't know the difference between wants and needs anymore).  Logically, having our own supply of these basics would mean the first step to resilience.  For inspiration on this concept, here's a great example of people who understand it and are working towards it:  A deliciously resourceful town aims for total food self-sufficiency within 7 years. Good on them!
