Every single point is spot on. There are so many contributors to the endangerment of our food supplies. I live in a condominium…multi unit flat. Gardening is now done on the roof deck in pots. There are limitations but I know it will be a necessity to do more home growing. The problem, of course, is too much heat, too much rain, strong winds..the weather is no longer predictable.
We are distracted from the most important thing of all because of Criminals allowed in governments, corruption of judges, totally unnecessary wars..but that circles back to criminal-incompetent politicians and chunks of the populations world-wide, but especially the recklessness of the US & our bloated military & fascist republicans and corporatists.
We know that every living being needs clean air, good drinking water, and healthy food options.
One way of protecting plants from too much sun or rain would be to put solar panels above them. Thoughtfully placed, they can be beneficial in some agricultural situations, so why not on roofs too?
Every place has its own microclimate. It is very visible in my village, where I can see the same plants at different stages at the same time. So if we are clever we can collaborate with people with different microclimates nearby to grow a whole range of foods between us where some of each will survive.
The psychopaths who achieve power and own or run large corporations don't care; they will always be able to afford food. They are incompetent because they have no interest in doing the right thing.
By growing some of our own we are making them less important, less able to control us and our costs by controlling our food.
