much of the shortsighted “garden in every backyard” solarpunk vision of the future is also really rooted in the american obsession with “self-sufficient” capitalist independence imho. 

not a criticism on anyone with a backyard garden, ovbs!! i think backyard gardens are really significant because 1) immediate food aid 2) they give people the chance to develop a personal relationship with nature, which is so important and life changing and a necessary step in being a meaningful steward of the ecosystem on every level. BUT capitalism is still keeping you alienated from everything beyond your backyard, and you can’t give away enough zucchini to fix those structural problems.

and again. it’s easy to turn your brain off and get lost in the pleasure of Having Stuff and the ways that you, personally, are better for your involvement with your backyard garden. we just have to not get complacent with those material victories, and keep challenging the systems that keep us alienated from our own food and our own environment.

And furthermore, if I may, people should ALWAYS be critical of the idea of ‘self sufficiency’ because it is the opposite of what we need more of, which is interdependency. Yes, it’s good to be a) able to provide some things for yourself without having to go through a capitalist middle man and b) to understand sufficiency and how that has more to do with having ‘enough’ and not needing more than ‘enough’, but aiming for a life where you ~don’t need anyone else~ is dysfunctional hyper individualistic nonsense.

^^^^^^^

We don’t need more backyard gardens. We need more community gardens. We need more “one empty lot every three blocks, that’s used as a garden.” We need more “that building was removed because the ground under it is too unstable, so we’ve made a small orchard.” 

We need less “how I can provide for myself and my family” and more “how we as a group of neighbors can thrive together and cooperate with other communities.”
