Heard recently about plans to grow stuff on building roofs. Sure I could grow a cabbage or two on my bald spot.

I think this would be a good idea. This should be advertised, done across schools, allotments etc

We've all become too dependent on other people.

Agree we have no food security, kids have no idea where food comes from. The minded kids are astounded at food grown in the garden. My Kids think its sad their dad grows veg (until the tomatoes need to be eaten).

Now its obvious because we ended up with a Thailand flood situation, all our eggs were in someone else's basket.

In two years we can build up a home grown (pun intended) fruit & veg industry taking advantage of new technology (Hydro/Aquaponics mechanical harvesting etc). After brexit at lest we will be able to afford a courgette.

Don't they have a garden? I'm not being rude but some people don't have gardens due to living in flats or houses without them.

Do you mean poor people or Scousers?

They have gardens its just that their parents don't grow vegetables.

Most kids seem to learn about a veg garden from their grandparents.

Or people living in £2m ex-council flats in London.
