It is possible in most climates and bioregions to maximize the amount of both vegan foods and local, sustainable foods in a diet… even if you cannot, yourself, build your home and lifestyle around vegan permaculture for a range of valid reasons. Soon, we will offer more info about the following topics:
Preserving, freezing, and canning food for off-season
Suburban and urban foraging
Scavenging and dumpster-diving
Growing your own vegetables, fruits, and legumes in your yard, house, and/or small community gardens
CSAs
Supporting local, sustainable farms and local stores that sell their products
Letting yourself off the hook for not being perfect
Stuff about how important it is not to be jugdemental and self-righteous re: people who eat meat, in the name of radical solidarity and a generally calm society.
For another indepth critique of locavorism (from a vegan perspective) please check out my essay “Green” Eggs and Ham?
