Start A Small Food Garden For Your Family!

[Sandra]

Food costs are soaring - a visit to the grocery store will make that painfully obvious. The rising cost of oil impacts food costs in many ways - tractors are used to prepare the ground and harvest, petroleum-based fertilizers are applied to improve growth, then it is packaged and shipped thousands of miles. In addition to making it harder for families to put food on the table, these carbon emissions contribute to global warming and the increased fuel consumption is increasing international tensions.
The answer is simple - and right in your own back yard - start a small food garden. WorldFoodGarden.org's mission is to make this simple solution visible and as easy as possible for the masses.

WolrdFoodGarden.org has synthesized global climate data, optimum growing temperatures for all edible plants, and cutting edge methodologies of the world's most respected and innovative gardeners to create a "Garden Calculator" which will make your gardening job a breeze!

WorldFoodGarden.org offers philanthropically inclined individuals the opportunity to connect directly to deliver open pollinated, non-GMO seeds to families in need by simply browsing the map to make new friends and create new networks. A small packet of seeds can produce a lifetime of wealth for a family abroad.

If you are simply a person considering starting your first garden WorldFoodGarden.org will make it easy to learn. If you are already growing a food garden- encourage others to do the same by adding your garden to the World Food Garden Map. If you are more philanthropically inclined, donate the means for less fortunate people to grow their garden and watch as your small efforts continue to spread exponentially on their own.

WorldFoodGarden.org offers:

* A world map where individuals, classrooms and small farms growing local food gardens, suppliers of non-GMO, open-pollinated seeds, and researchers, travelers and philanthropists can create profiles, network, and trace the impact of their efforts.
* Great visibility for non-GMO open pollinated seed suppliers
* A way to promote a diversity of seeds and non-GMO seeds
* Great visibility for garden organizations
* Source of information on plants & seeds

A small vegetable and fruit garden is also something beautiful and enjoyable for the children to have in a home daycare or starter daycare business. If your daycare caters to child demographics from the age of 7 to 9 then a small veggie or fruit garden is just the ticket to help children understand the importance of good eating habits and patronizing nutrient rich foods such as greens and fruits. This is a time in the childs life where they become picky eaters, showing them where vegetables are grown can be a creative way of involving the children and making them enticed to try out a healthier and child friendly diet.
