Planting vegetables
Description
Planting vegetables involves the deliberate cultivation of edible plants to provide a reliable source of nutrition, enhance food security, and reduce dependence on commercial supply chains. This strategy addresses issues such as malnutrition, food scarcity, and rising food costs by empowering individuals and communities to produce their own fresh produce. Key actions include preparing soil, selecting appropriate seeds, regular maintenance, and sustainable harvesting, thereby promoting self-sufficiency and environmental resilience.
