We may be starved of our freedom, but we do not need to go hungry. Food sovereignty is my next goal as we enter a new year – and potential apocalypse. I’m not talking about hoarding cans of beans from the supermarket. Instead, I’m exploring how we can create a sustainable, healthy food revolution in your own backyard. It’s called a Food Forest.
