"With two fields, some pigs, chickens and community spirit, a Hampshire village is organising to defy supermarkets and become self-sufficient
A village on the western fringes of Hampshire is well on the way to becoming the first in England to defy the power of the supermarkets by achieving communal self-sufficiency in food."
One more excerpt:
" 'People are sick of being told to worry about food. They need to feel empowered. We know of lots of alternative local food systems that are sustainable, resilient, viable and principled.' "

Incredible!
This shows we can free our selves from corporate domination.
The movement is growing nationally, world wise, we have had enough.
It's time to get back our rights, our health and the strong sense and power of communities.

Good for them! People need to learn how to work together again to help each other out, instead of just giving money to some organization to spend it somewhere on their behalf.
