Quietly Degrowing: Food Self-provisioning in Central Europe
Original language description
In the growing scholarship on alternative food initiatives, more traditional food self-provisioning in home gardens and on allotments has remained largely overlooked. This chapter seeks to bring this neglected set of practices to the centre stage of academic debates on responses to the deepening food crisis. Drawing on research in the Czech Republic the authors expose, first, the scale of home food self-provisioning and the diverse set of motivations behind it, second, the social networks established through it, and, third, its environmental benefits. The discussion relates Central European households’ food self-provisioning practices to the three dimensions of the metabolic rift – ecological, social, and individual. It is argued in the conclusion that food self-provisioning is a quiet – common-sense, non-activist – way of food production, distribution, and consumption which, compared to other alternative food initiatives, is large-scale, socially inclusive and longstanding.
