    Looking at my own area in a city there is basically zero nearby plots where community gardening would be realistic; however, if one could get an entire street to agree to use their front yards as a plot, well now all that land is being used to grow food for the community rather than just for looking or sitting. Ofc, good luck in getting people to agree to that…

      I don’t know what the average yard size is in your area, but in general I doubt front yards would provide enough land to sustain everyone. I might be wrong though so it still would be an interest f experiment just to see if it could work

        I was thinking the front yards of an entire city block. I also don’t think it would be enough for a main source for food for everyone, maybe just some fresh ingredients from time to time, buuut it’s also just a though experiment for me. Breaking down the fences and walls put up everywhere to say this is mine.
