I like the idea of backyard and community gardens to promote healthier eating, stronger work ethic and neighborly care. In some parts of the world, neighbors agree to grow particular foods and share them within the community. This allows for greater food yield and easier care. Further, it teaches basic agriculture and requires the efforts of all citizens. The work put into the gardens acts as the payment for the products. Working together fosters an environment of mutual concerns. Such environment tends to help children develop a healthy respect for labor and relationship. Finally, the food raised is organic and free of unhealthy pesticides, while also allowing for annual crop rotation which helps to maintain healthy soil.
