The most overlooked protein source available is easy to grow at home, and it can be fed leftovers. Growing your own protein is kind of like gardening. Micro-Farming is a better way to describe it.

Set-Up a Micro-Farm in Your Own Home

There’s an ancient high protein food source that is easy to grow but if I mention it now, it might scare you off before you read any further. So, please bear with me.

We’re experiencing unprecedented times, so we need to set unwarranted cultural fears aside and adopt new approaches to our food production and delivery systems that are good for us and good for our planet.

Meat is our primary protein source, yet meat production is killing us and our planet. It’s a significant cause of pollution, deforestation, and inhumane treatment of animals. It’s not sustainable, and we need solutions that are.

In addition, our population is increasing dramatically. By the time my kids are my age, there will be half again as many people on our planet. Since meat, especially beef, is becoming more popular worldwide, meat production will need to double. This is simply not possible. Our planet cannot support it.
