Summary: TweetMarjory WIldcraft of Backyard Food Production Today Marjory Wildcraft of Back Yard Food Production joins us to discuss taking control of your own food supply with home growing, small livestock and community building. Not long ago humans fed themselves, provided for their on needs and were largely self sufficient. They knew how to feed themselves, how to take care of animals, what to plant and what to do when something went wrong. Marjory’s DVD, “Food Production Systems for a Backyard or Small Farm” is your guide to recapturing that lost knowledge. Marjory is a nationally recognized expert in organic backyard food production. She is the creator of a widely acclaimed video tutorial titled Food Production Systems for a Backyard or Small Farm. Marjory teaches people with no gardening or agricultural experience, how to successfully grow healthy, vibrant, life-giving nutritious food. Her DVD is endorsed and carried by such notables as The Permaculture Activist, Acre’s USA, John Jeavons and Ecology Action’s premier seed and tool company Bountiful Gardens, SurvivalBlog.com and The Weston-Price Nutrition Foundation.  It has now been viewed by over 250,000 people in more then 30 countries. Today she joins us to discuss her recent visit to Cuba to review the results of what can only be called a “forced organic revolution”.  Marjory will give you the good, the bad and the ugly on what happened with the U.S.S.R. fell apart and Russia pulled the plug on all Cuban support.  You will see there is a lot of accuracy in the documentary “The Power of Community – How Cuba Survived Peak Oil” and that the documentary is at the same time, quite, overly optimistic. Join us today as we discuss… What sudden and total economic collapse was like for Cuba The real reason Cuba went all organic, they had to Black market and criminal activity during the collapse Some of the major advantages Cuba had over a nation like the US in a collapse Some of the major disadvantages Cuba faced compared to a nation like the US How many Cubans committed suicide during the collapse The false promise of socialism and how it has disempowered the Cuban people How we can use what the Cuban’s learned prior to a collapse Additional Resources for Today’s Show Members Support Brigade Join Our Forum Members Support Brigade 13Skills.com Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom TSP Mint TSP Gear Knife Kits – (sponsor of the day) Backwoods Home Magazine – (sponsor of the day) Backyard Food Production The Power of Community – How Cuba Survived Peak Oil (full film on YouTube) Is Jack Spirko Smoking Crack – (video by a listener who says 13 skills is to many in one year – what say you?  BE NICE if you comment on his video, he isn’t being a jerk) Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.
