Hello
everyone😊🤗 .
We often talk about food insecurity. The economic research service reported that 1 in 7 americans experience some form of food insecurity. How do we combat that? What can we do to help this number decrease. Butterfly life style is making small steps to help house holds that are experiencing food insecurity by providing food weekly. Last week we provided for over 1200 individuals. If you're in a house hold experiencing this type of insecurity ,you can also make a small step toward giving your family food security.
You can start by planting a vegetable you like. Sounds impossible? Its not. I live in an apartment and I started by planting peppers🌶, tomatoes🍊 and cucumbers🥒 in a container pot near my front door. You can plant container veggies on your windows ledge, on your front or back porch or just near your front door like I did. Now are you ONLY going to eat peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers?
Probably not, but planting the container vegetables you love is a start in the direction towards food security. For me planting my own meant I no longer had to buy those veggies. (I often eat these veggies for lunch. i love them with a little salt, pepper, basil, vinegar and olive oil🥰😊)
Will planting your own veggies absolutely solve your food insecurity issue? No, but it could help .
Give it a try, let us know how its going once you start.
