Britons should start growing their own fruit & veg in their gardens in the face of a looming world food crisis, said Dr. Tim Lang, Prof. of Food Policy at City Uni. In World War 2 Britons were urged to ‘Dig for victory’. I couldn’t agree more that we should be re-learning these food-growing skills. Even a little pot of herbs or lettuce can save you loads of money, for a start.
