Friends often assume that I grow my own vegetables. It’s part of a green stereotype, perhaps influenced by the 1970s sitcom The Good Life. That stereotype has some validity. The Transition Movement has a focus on local self-reliance. This is partly about reconnecting people with soil and community and partly about resilience, as we face growing uncertainty about climate, economy and government.
