Food Sovereignty

What does Utopia mean to you?

Growing up, I would think of it as a fantasy sort of realm, a way of living. You want to be in a space where everyone feels free to do what they want. There's no negativity and all resources are shared by all. There's peace and there's harmony, throughout. It's that magical place, that you as a human being, want to aspire to where you have a connection and harmony with not only humans, but with animals and plants as well.

Maybe that's that's why we wanted to tackle this question — because Utopia feels like this really perfect faraway ideal that's almost unattainable, but when we think about community gardens, that almost feels like an applied utopia, a small scale version that we can study and possibly scale up.
