Trying to grow a secure source of food that can't be stolen, destroyed, embargoed or poisoned. Identified the best option is growing root vegetables in unmaintained public land, like forests.
Buying food from the market leaves you at the mercy of dystopian food monopoly, who have introduced absurd measures like cashless only or ID required. Getting food from charity leaves you with no choice of food, and highly rationed distribution. Growing food on your own land, solves the food choice, supply and cash issue, but incurs both tax cost and risk of eminent domain taking the land away before the crops are harvested. These are all really bad options for food security.
Therefore the best option is growing food on public land, which would solve all these issues including eliminating tax and property seizure. Just have to choose a good, remote location, and hide the crop among other plants nearby. A forest, rural park, road or abandoned property should be a good place.
The best type of crop for this location should be a perennial, drought-proof root vegetable like potato, since there is no watering except rainfall. A perennial will keep growing year after year without maintenance or needing to buy new seeds, and a root crop would be well hidden, capable of fully regrowing even if the plant is cut down. A root crop is also fairly resistant to attempts to poison. Just dig a hole, plant the potato and leave for a few months until harvest.
It should easily be possible to grow enough potatoes to feed yourself and others, indefinitely for free. Worst case scenario is someone cuts the plants down, but it's not really hard to plant more at other locations.
Any suggestions on site locations or alternate crops?
>planting potatoes on someone else's property is better than owning your own plot of land because of eminent domainyou know that eminent domain (usually) means you get compensated for your land, right? also check out the permaculture thread, which is really just a gardening thread
