This month's newsletter release for paid subscribers is a compilation of the six biggest things we think you need to consider before going off on your homesteading, permacultur-ing, or back-to-the-land-ing dream.

While this might sound corny, we see you. We know that lots of you are disillusioned with the polycrisis and the economic and social institutions we live under and you wish for either sovereignty or an exit from capitalism or just to get out of your day job (or all three). Alternatively, we see those of you who are just trying to figure out how to reduce your own impact while seeking to solve some of the more structural issues, because let's face it: there is a possibility that all we can do is what *we* can do, because we know that the powers-that-be really might not care that we need change.

So we sat down and thought about what mistakes we made, and what mistakes others make, and what it is that people are ultimately looking to do when they try to get into a life like this. The result is useful, we think, and we hope that if you can spare $5 you'll look into it. Any contributions help us with our own sovereignty project, and help us feed others, and help us rewild this section of the Mojave and (we hope) a big enough section to make meaningful microclimate impacts one day.

If you read it, or contribute in any way, or share it, thank you very much. We appreciate you, and you're helping to keep us going.

Before involving young people in #gardening and #sustainability work, we must first equip them with knowledge and guidance. Understanding why sustainability matters turns simple actions into meaningful impact. When they learn first, they don’t just grow plants—they grow responsibility and a lasting commitment to protecting our #environment. 🌱🌍

The global demand for wheat rises year after year, largely due to population growth. In 2026, global wheat production is set to reach 820 million tonnes. But we need more. How can we grow more in a changing climate.

We eat a lot of wheat. So how can we grow more in a changing climate?

Wheat is one of the most popular grains globally. But climate change is making it harder to grow, harvest and distribute this crucial crop.

@AlbertusvandenBerg okay,thanks for sharing and the love you show to nature.
I am also an activist from Uganda,where I am training young people about sustainable food production and environmental conservation to end hunger and environmental degradation in schools and communities.

From ripe red tomatoes in our hands to those still growing in the garden, every stage tells a story of #sustainability. Teaching young people to grow #food in ecofriendly ways protects our #environment, reduces waste, and strengthens food security. Imagine communities where knowledge replaces scarcity. What small step can you take today to grow greener and feed the future?

@LoraHughes You have a beautifl red flower,I wished that all are opened.
But hopefully they will with time and let me pray that they are not desteoyed but the sun for the next days you are to have.
Are you only growing flowers in your backyard or even vegetables and other food stuffs?

@NearerAndFarther Thanks for the great work of food production you are doing.
We are doing same work like you,and we have also tomato nursery beds that we prepared in the previous evening with other seeds.
Though we are in different regions,can we keep on sharing and exchanging knowledge and ideas?
#foodproduction #plants #agriculture
@firephoto Thanks for the great work you are doing in the sector of #agriculture .
We are doing the same work despite the fact that I am acting from Uganda but we all against #hunger which is an enemy to everyone #world wide.
On addition to #foodproduction, I am leading the #Greenyouthmovement to conserve the #environment and #nature while through agriculture.
Could we connect for more information?
@AmateurExpert thanks for sharing this information with me,but maybe you need also to spare time in the future and visit Uganda.
However,I am not too far with animal life but more concentrated at protecting #nature and practising #agriculture for #foodproduction yo end #hunger in our communities.
What do you do in your place?
