A horse and a cow can provide a family with necessary ingredients for a prosperous garden and the labor to make it easier.
Life is not that hard ..... as long as you're not going to work for someone else.
The horse and cow have to get their food from somewhere. They need anywhere from an acre - extremely rich and productive pasturage - to hundreds of acres of desert to obtain enough food to survive and prosper.
“’Local food’ cannot simply be equated with ‘sustainable food’; in most cases, it neither can ensure food security nor does it necessarily have a lower carbon footprint.”
I thought all those footprints were from my neighbor’s dogs walking through my garden and now I found out the vegetables I’m growing were the culprits leaving all the carbon footprints.
