When Purdue University professor Ian Lindsay and his wife moved to a suburban lot in West Lafayette, IN, several years ago they decided to put their extra energy and time into growing food, rather than lawn, in their front yard. I discovered Ian’s garden on a bike ride last summer, and talked with him about the politics of food choices, front yard garden aesthetics, and the wisdom of drip irrigation.

  1. Yes, children growing around growing perennial foods resonate recognition of cycles of life.

  2. Food security that he suggests is actually food insecurity. The food justice movement is the globalist plan to feed the future population. Look at the UN plan for 2030. It's a step back in time, and the feudal system. Think outside the box, because that's where the globalist crazies are thinking. Nice garden, but way too high maintenance.
