Indigo Truitt 10/19/2018 2:27 PMDoes anyone know of herbs that are hearty enough to grow indoors with minimal natural sunlight?-
ashley alred 10/19/2018 3:35 PMYou can perhaps get a plant light to add something to an area? (maybe defeats the purpose of the eco-challenge or they cancel each other out?)

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Watch a Documentary about Food SovereigntyHow does food sovereignty address the complex agrarian transition to modern food systems?
Indigo Truitt 10/17/2018 9:50 AMIf we allowed food sovereignty to became a higher priority then we could quite possibly find more sustainable ways to fight world hunger by helping within areas of need directly instead of relaying mostly on importing and distributing the necessary means to take care of those who need it.
