Thanks for the 'heads up' Marty, most people have no idea how fragile the food supply chain is. We all grew most of our own food in our back yards once and we need to start doing it again. Thanks for the warning!

I have a lot of respect for farmers. A thank you to all farmers for what you do. I try to have a small veg garden, it is not easy. I made plenty of mistakes and invested a lot of money with very little return. If I had to rely on myself for food, I would starve in 2 days. So, I need farmers and not politicians in my life. Take care.

Hey, here in Germany is the same thing. 250 gramms of butter was bevore the big C about one €. Now they want for the same amount 3 €. I'm glad; I have a garden and my freezer is full for the winter. My birthdaypresent, what I got myself was a greenhouse in spring. There are rigth now still salads and vegetables growing. Its a try, because I have no experience with a greenhouse in winter. But I'm 57 years old and still willing to learn! Bleasings from Saxony! May our future be peacefull! 💙💙💙
The battle is real people. Please listen to Marty and get your gardens established as best you can. Also, stock up on long-term storage foods when they're cheap; rice, white flour, sugar, salt, dried beans and lentils etc. We've got to start living like our grandparents did. Grow, preserve, make, save seeds. Learn how now while we've got all the resources.
@bjcdownunder I'm so grateful for the skills my grandparents had and that they were able to hand onto me as I was growing up from preserving, gardening and hand crafts they're all tools and skills that I now apply to my own life as an adult

We need to develop skills in preserving food as well. Last week we harvested bananas and we dried a third of them and stored them in Kilner jars, some went in the freezer for smoothies. I buy red cabbage when its cheap and make sauerkraut, purchase fruit when its cheap and make jam and marmalade. I plan on learning what the Americans call canning and preserving more food for the pantry. I guess I'm becoming a prepper.
Great skills to have, and they’re not difficult. Just strictly follow the rules with canning. Be sure to try fermenting too, simple and magic. I grow most of my own food and preserve it in many ways.
The most nutritious healthful way to consume food is in its original live state when it is full of enzymes and ready for harvest in Nature. The more processing you do afterwards, i.e. cooking, canning and fermenting -(where the once live food slowly decays as it dies)- the more nutrition is lost.
Canning bananas is not difficult (mash them like baby food, add a bit of lemon juice to keep them from Browning), but I find making banana juice is my favorite.
In 2009 a documentary was released called "Home" that was the first real indication that we were going toward this path of scarcity and the division between rich and poor growing larger, I acted pretty quick leaving my job and extended family in Perth and by 2015 i had purchased 5acres in the southwest of W.A to create a permaculture food forest, fast forward to today 9 years on and it is cranking. I now have about 80 different types of fruit trees with dozens of raised beds, aquaponics and many small soil and worm making systems. I still do my weekly shops at woolies as i can't produce 100% of what my family needs. So glad i made the move when I did. I recommend you find community and start collecting seeds and learn about soil biology and growing your own food NOW.

@@Kleanmonkey good timing and as a Westie living in Perth it’s great to hear stories like yours. I’ve converted my suburban Perth block w small home into. Y version of food harvesting and have worked thru issues like soils and severe summer heat. Love the challenge
It's all be design. It's deliberate. Major corporations want the full control over food and the best way is to get rid on most farmers. Speaking as a farmer, we are fairly self sufficient. We slaughter all our meat on our property and have a large vegie garden but people in town can't do this. Especially meat which is vital for good health. It needs to go back to community. Locals go to local, individual farms, to get most of their produce and meat but government just doesn't allow that without so much regulation and red tape. But that's how it should be because it's fresh and healthy food compared to large food production. The crap that's in that food is just going to kill you.

I am 52, I have gone through menopause without any symptoms because I eat a high fat diet with lots of animal products such as eggs, butter, cream and meat. You need Fat! Fat builds your hormones.
I went high fat Carnivore 2 years ago at 47 years of age so that I can sail through menopause without an issue. I would only do dairy if I could get raw milk. I am physically and mentally strong and all of my health issues have corrected.
Same! Used to be vegan and an avid vege gardener, but I got really sick. Switching to high fat carnivore has reversed all my diseases. I do have a disaster prep stash of rice, beans and every variety of heritage vege seeds but think that’s all it’s good for; famine food. My first choice for nutrients and health is meat, eggs and butter!
They need to be teaching gardening and animal husbandry in schools. The kids would be a shit ton less depressed if they connected to nature, and they would learn actual life skills.
Im really sad about what is happening in our country. Price of food and cost of living. I remember when i was a child and we had veggie shops, butchers, bakeries and such. All independently owned. Now we have these massive corporations that own everything. Its so depressing, we have no future. 😢
The majority of what's for sale in supermarkets isn't food. The crisis is that we became reliant on a toxic system that doesn't work and is completely unnecessary. Local food production is absolutely simple, possible, and far better for our health and our financial wellbeing. We do have the power to stop relying on a system that doesn't work.
Tx Marty just subscribed. I started my own food growing 4 years ago when the whole sh%@ hit the fan thinking people in my Perth suburb of Victoria Park would do the same. No change in 4 years Re community garden but I’m getting the biggest thrill from it all. It was hard work to set up the plots as we need to contain the beds due to nothing but sand to start with. All organic and loving it. I’ve loved learning thru failure and watching my improvements. My zucchini’s atm are world class lol. And my tomatoes are fab. I’m 65 and didn’t plan this would be my lifestyle but so happy it is
Back in the fifties farmers sold fruit, veg, eggs door to door, setting up a customer base that way. Perhaps they should look at this again. My mum used to buy her fruit and veg this way. Maybe not the way to make big bucks but it may help us all survive. Get more bang for your buck anyway. I tossed a deal with Woolworths because they wanted me to produce big, have a huge worker base and make as little as 5%. I told the buyer you must be mad. I'm making 50% now without all those overheads. No deal. I said plainly, overheads are too high to work on a 5% margin.
I'm with ya mate. Been gardening for years in just a normal back yard. I do think it also important for people to learn how to preserve what they grow. It's a dying skill things like canning, water bathing, simple dehydration methods.
@paulawagstaff686 I highly recommend leek powder and mushroom powder. I dehydrate so much even frozzen peas and corn for long term storage. Grated carrot and parsnip when my garden produces to much. All my leaf greens like kale, spanch, Brussels sprouts leafs mix together as a green powder to add vitamins hidden in food. Onions powdered is great well. I seem to love to powder my dry stuff but also do chuncks for some things.
@paulawagstaff686 and yes travels light. I do lots for my parents who caravan all over. They also love it as at boarders dry stuff is aloud when fresh is taken away in most states
@martysgarden suburban farming like my grand parents did. Dispatching was at sunrise and done quietly, so the neighbours didn't have any reason to have a winge. This video is a good heads up for anyone thinking about the future and being too dependent on big business.
@samiamnot8906 I agree that the quails are great. My wife hated my old quails, though, because of the noise they made, and chickens were easier for her to get used to. I'll go back into them when an acreage becomes a reality in the future. I have a garden with chickens and honey bees for the moment.
You are right, bury some spuds and sweet potatoes people... Govt in Netherlands banned farmers across whole country growing any winter crops last year.. no cabbages etc. In Germany govt, mandated farmers in the potato growing region only allowed to grow bio fuel crops. Anyone would think the powers that be want to cause a global famine. Heaven knows our Govt loves to tell us what to do and what to think .... sorry about the rant :) (
Robyn, could you share your source(s) of info on the claims you made. I can't find anything about the government mandates in Europe that you mentioned. The thing to remember is that current global climate change - which big fossil fuel corporations have understood, and denied, since the late 1950s - is due to human activities, and the use of nitrogen fertilizers is actually a huge source of greenhouse gas emissions. So the problem isn't what governments are doing, it's that they didn't start making these changes (with farmers' input) 15-20 years ago. The so-called Green Revolution has had huge unintended yet deadly consequences.
We have something called the death tax here and mid sized farmers want to pass the farm and land to their children but the children can't afford to keep it.
My brother in law was a dairy farmer, like his dad before him. He self deleted over a decade ago with the stresses dairy farmers were (and probably still are) up against.
A big part of the aging of farming is the same as the core problem with housing affordability. Just as a house that was brought to $40K in the 70's is now worth millions today, farm land that went for $35/acre in the 70s is now worth thousands/acre. Gone are the days when a shearer could save his wages, buy some land and start farming.
Hit the nail on the head Marty!! Food insecurity is VERY real and VERY scary!! We are too complacent, relying on greedy corporations who are running our farmers out of business. Farmers burying their crops rather than give it to the supermarket chains at well below cost is a very real thing too! My grandfather grew up to see WWI, the Great Depression (which hit Australia much harder due to inept government), WWII and he grew the most amazing 'Victory' Garden. He grew 50% to 60% of his fruit and veg needs - organically too. He lived a long, healthy life. Food insecurity can be a tool of government control - cow fart taxes eliminating needed protein, and now the rubbish about home vegetable gardeners contributing to climate change. Now more than ever, we need to grow something and keep that money away from the greedy corporates.
I totally support backyard vege gardening, however, new housing estates don’t offer very large sized blocks, which doesn’t make backyard gardening very easy. Perhaps local shires should set more areas aside in the planning stage to allow community gardeners to produce locally grown stuff.
Local councils have protected the big two for decades. We had a farmer on the edge of the suburbs trying to sell his stuff locally. SHUT DOWN even though people protested. NO COMPETITION FOR THE BIGS.
If we don't look after our farmers, we will be up sh!t creek without a paddle. Governments have more control over hungry people. Quote "Let's get one thing straight: Hunger is a political condition. Too many people think that our hunger crisis is the result of some kind of scarcity or lack of food - but nothing could be further from the truth. It is the corporate and government control of food systems that are harming the most vulnerable in Australia today.
The other issue is the cost of farms. If cannot raise a couple of million dollars you do not have the money to buy a farm and keep it going as you start it up. Most people in their 20s or 30s has no chance of raising this sort of capital.
Hi Marty...Just found your channel & this is your first video I'm watching. I live in the AG belt of South Georgia USA...I've noticed BIG changes here with farms, rivers & the grocery stores. I am 69 years old & limited on ground to grow veggies. I just wanted to let you know that this crisis is world wide & I place most (if not all) the blame on our government. I found a guy on UA-cam who is sharing what he has found & has documents to prove it.. I appreciate you for sharing with others...we must stand firm and help our neighbors as much as we can.
We need Australian grown food only.. the top quality stuff.. seasonal.. not the garbage we are paying top prices for while our good stuff goes overseas..we are
Great video Marty. Not to mention farmland being sold off for housing estates. Grrr - there is one across the road from us and I saw one in Casino - prime fertile growing land, heaps of irrigation water - now Housing estate. Our governments are so corrupt and greedy they would rather people starve so they can make a buck. We must all look out for ourselves and our loved ones and grow as much as we can and share, Thanks for what you are doingxxx
Thanks for sharing here, good land should be saved for agriculture, We have plenty that can be used for housing in other places. We need houses but there is such a thing called zoning and it needs to be done right
@martysgarden you can only stay in one town for so long. After about a month or so you start to get fines for sleeping in your car and need to move to a new town. People are horrible when you are in this situation. It makes it impossible to get out of the situation.
@@dantheman5589 developed countries love that there is a lower impoverished class so they can feel better about themselves. Australia has mastered the art of poor shaming
I'm hearing the same from Europe and here in the UK farmers have been warning of a looming food crisis for a couple of years already. It seems that all political parties and all western media are staying silent on this which is very worrying. I've tried to convince friends to stock up at least a year's worth of food but they don't want to believe it's going to happen. I did some research after reading an estimate that Britain is 60% self sufficient in food. It became pretty obvious early on that we are anything but. Given the history of corporations allowing millions to starve to death rather than lose a penny in profit(check out the Irish and Indian famines under British colonial rule. 25 'major' famines during the British Raj alone). With the Clot shot and the destruction of the NHS the cull is well under way and claiming hundreds of thousands of lives, a shock to our food supply chain will be enough to tip millions over the edge. Sadly the British climate and limited access to the land 'Bush tucker' will not be an option for us. 💀☠ WEF
Step number one...get a block of land where your neighbor cnt see what you have or what you are doing in your backyard because..SUPER SPREADER VEGGIE BUG'S-BIRD FLU CLEARLY COMING OUR WAY.
Or you end up with situation like where i live in New Zealand where they want to build houses on prime food producing land, increasing the need to import more food which then pushes the price up and who knows what the quality would be like
lets put the LIBS in power for the next 100 years and from what you are saying all will be fixed ,,Dont sound right when its put that way, What you have failed to see , is the Government is owned,, controlled ,,bought off and is used as a tool ,To think in any other way would be so naïve. Its this division of LIBS or LABOR voting that is 1/2 the trouble, There is a lot more to learn about the corrupt system you and me live in. If you think what I have written is BS ,,,,, the cricket is starting soon Just like a pacifier for a baby ,ps The footy too later
You only have to look at what they are doing with eggs to know that this is 100% true. Sure, there were some poultry farms whose chooks got destroyed because of bird flu - but the numbers don't add up. Half the time, Woolies is completely out of eggs, and Coles is almost as bad. The free range eggs I used to get at a good price have now doubled in price, most places. Eggs are a key source of protein for many people, especially for those who have to feed hungry growing kids, and they used to be a relatively cheap source of high quality protein too. Now, they are trying to get people to go for manufactured protein, and cheap cereal products - none of them high quality foods. And no good for anyone except the big agribusiness companies...
Wow. This timing is AMAZING!! Just this morning my mind was heavy on this very subject. the WHAT IF of it and here comes Marty with this video. Thanks for the confirmation of this idea. I plan to be more serious this year in my gardening efforts.
90% of the produce is chinese farmed at the markets in Queensland :) So they aren't even selling you Australian grub, it's imported chinese garbage at lower prices. The one stall at the market that had Australian grown produce was charging similar to super markets, no point in buying it that way, would rather wait 2-3 years and grow my own.
We really need to go back to growing in our own back yards. The home grown kinda stopped / slowed down in the 80's when the Greeks and Italians started aging out. Next generation didnt want to. We are only now seeing the importance of going back to that grow-your-own mindset. Share what you don't use with friends. We'll all cut down on our vege and fruit purchases. Canning needs to come back. I'm disabled and working on my own with the help of supports. If you don't have land, seek out community gardens where you can plant your own there.
Good on you Marty. That needed to be said. I did an organic gardening course 40 years ago when I was 32 and have grown organic fruit and veggies ever since. I have surplus and have plenty to give to friends which I do regularly. When my husband and I rented a flat in Sydney with a balcony many years ago we grew vegies in pots on the balcony. Amazing what one can achieve with a small space, which is what you just said. Cheers
Exactly mate. My friend just walked from his farm. 30yrs he milked 7 days a week. Went broke. Sold it for pitance. I just a bought 5 acres homestead to provide for myself. Taking my propping to the next level. Meat fruit and veg etc. We all must ramp it up before its too late or we will pay the ultimate price. Right you are education is a must Learn skills now. Knowledge and know how will be the only way to survive what's coming.
@martysgarden it is, unfortunately. Sad thing is so many don't see it and won't while there's food on the shelf still. And we know exactly what will happen once that's gone. As preppers all we can do is keep spreading the word and hope some listen
The supply chain issues heading our way are probably underappreciated by most people. However possibly the number one reason for growing food is because the products we are getting in supermarkets now are mostly barely fit for regular consumption such that increasing numbers of doctors are starting to point the finger there as the causes for obesity and metabolic disorders plaguing society, diabetes etc. The sugar saturation almost everything is just one problem although its a big one. Our commercial systems and governance systems are desperately trying to look away and ignore this, to distract us from an embedded chronic issue in society. By growing your own food you get excercise and mental health benefits from the inherent problem solving (gradening plus kitchen creativity) required besides a natural increase in consumption of whole foods which dramatically addresses the medical issues i raised. Plus pesticide free food can be grown. You can add very high quality protien sources by keeping chickens for eggs and meat. We have some cattle and sheep too and swap food with neighbours.
Actually could be a great time to get into beef cattle farming-absolutely be in high demand as keto and carnivore is growing so fast because of how optimal the diets are for human health. Might want to consider if you can operate privately and have customers as paid members. Legally Operate outside the system. To protect yourself from government overreach;virus scares and climate change scares will be used to create 24 hour surveillance, microchipping all animals, RNA vaccines (making them mandatory) adding synthetic enzymes suppressors to your cattle etc look out for the narrative from big agriculture Synthetic is sustainable
It's an essential life skill that we don't have because we've been cooped up living in apartments working in offices. People need to get back to the land, go off grid, grow your own food and form communities. 98% of all products sold in the supermarkets are toxic, including the fruit and vegetables which are sprayed with pesticides. There's only a tiny organic section that is very limited. Time for change - thanks Marty. Subscribed. Living in Brisbane, Australia.
Yes, I agree. We live in middle USA on 25 acres. I have planted over 70 fruit trees and many fruiting bushes, since we bought this home in 2016. The trees started producing fruit this past summer. With that and our garden, we are blessed with an abundance of food.
It's not food being unavailable. It is the reduction of variation in food. Also lack of nutritional value in the food... it will all be vegitable oil, flour and sugar...
Vegetable or seed oil are an industrial lubricant, and terrible for your health and wellness, trust me I have researched as well collect used oil and sell..
Knowing the truth behind locally sourced food is also becoming more difficult. Recently I learned that a honey making business on King Island of all places is sourcing more than 60% of its core product from China, but is still selling the honey as premium King Island produce. In that case it’s purely around profit no different to the big two. Food security should be a front of line issue but government is strangely quiet on the subject. The big two are left to do as they please. Love that I have found your channel. Many thanks 🙏
This is why I am always skeptical of locals too. They're just as likely to become scummy if they aren't getting their dollar. Eg; Most of the beef farmers I can order f rom charge over 70% more than the grocery market. I tried explaining to them that if the 1kg of beef mince 85/15 fat costs $12 in the grocery store but they charge me $20 + postage, then I will be forced to buy from the grocery store, regardless of how much the 'farmer' gets ripped off. If I cannot afford your prices I will buy elsewhere, if you think (like the tradies) that you can hike your prices up indefinitely, eg; charge $120 for hanging a door (true story btw) you're dead wrong that there won't be a loss of revenue.
@@Rexhunterj Yeah unfortunately that is the corner we have been pushed in to. I heard some lady complaining about paying $4 for a loaf of bread in the supermarket at the self-checkout. I'm paying $10 a loaf 🤦 For how long I can afford that I do not know.
Soon as there's demand, more people will grow or invest in growing, I've bought an acre and grow most of my own food, now that's me and my family no longer buying much fruit and veg from woolworths and coles, it took 3 yrs to really set up though
I'm involved in irrigation, and I'm hearing the same stories. So few people are willing to follow the generational farming business. And the vast majority currently farming are 70+. The government and the big 2 have been screwing farmers for years, and it only gets worse every year. Australia is most definitely in for an ugly collapse in the not too distant future. I don't think many at all actually understand mate, they're heads are in the sand, too many distractions to blind the issues as well.
Throwing out another thought. I wonder how many of us on the other side of the camera would be interested in workshops etc. We have 2.5 acres, I know I would. I don't have any time to do anything with it atm due to helping family, but would definitely love to get this place cranking out some awesome fresh food. If it's something you might consider then let me know.
Marty I live in Geraldton WA (sandy soil and hard water) have tried to grow vegetables that I thought were suitable to my climate, but I am shocked at the continual destruction of my crops by various bugs, viruses and the summer sun...... I hate spraying insecticides on my growing food but it seems inevitable. I have tried many home made sprays but these have to be applied more often etc increasing workload with limited success. Currently I am only having success with heritage tomatoes and spinach in pots and they too need constant attention.
Raised beds and compost!!! It takes a few years to enrich the soil. Grass clippings and leaves, kitchen scrapes too. Ask around or get nosy and look at what other people are growing. Go to the local extension office and take a class.
Farmers are forced into selling to the big 2. We had farmers markets in our area and one had to close down because insurance and government regulations to run them is now so high. Corporations are buying up farming land and employ woofers and “low skilled working immigrants” and treat them poorly wage wise forcing family farmers to do the same to be competitive. We need to support farmers on the ground even if it’s a pick your own produce type of system and force insurance companies to stop scamming or pay insurance for them.
@@An.era.we.will.never.forget Yeah, and if you try planting a lemon tree at a park, it will surely get ripped out by the council. When I lived in the city burbs I just used to ride my bike around and pick lemons off the trees overhanging people's fences (lots of Greeks and Vietnamese in the area). One bloke even had orange trees growing on his nature strip, I knocked on his door to ask if I could grab a few and there was no answer. So I went to the tree to grab a couple and heard this booming voice yelling at me out of a window from the house 😆 He was majorly pissed I had knocked on his door and was taking oranges off what was not even his property.
When I was a child, there were fruit trees planted along the railway line for anyone to harvest from. About 20 years ago, probably now the council removed them all as the big 2 were not happy with people accessing free fruit.
@@robertmurray8763 Growing up in the 90s in Melbourne we had an Italian family living next door to us. It was really incredible the amount of food they grew on a 1/4 acre suburban block. Lots of chooks, fun memories there.
Thanks Marty, mate I reckon we're all trying. Unfortunately a lot of people work so many hours. In winter the only time is on the weekends to do some good ole vegie gardening. Yes I agree, the duopoly is making fools of all, including the poor farmer. Cheers mate.
Great post- we should all be growing something, anything in our spaces/yards. Even if it only a lot of one thing, you can trade your produce and/or preserve it. The greatest feeling is to plant a seed, nurture and watch it, then harvest and enjoy your efforts. Anything I am able to grow is something I don’t have to buy and transport home.
Great video! As a fellow aggi, I’m seeing what you see too. By the end of my course I could see that a career in Ag wasn’t financially viable and I went into white collar work, despite my passion for working on the land. Instead I’ve always grown my own farm in my spare time! Who would have thought that Ag would be my hobby and the skills a dying trade. Keep up the great work!
100%, the average age of the farmer is something like 65yo. And as you said most of them have no succession plan. Land prices are prohibitive so any young aspiring farmers are priced out of the market. What you’re teaching on here is going to be priceless in years to come.
Nothing new unfortunately. Remember when everyone have a fruit tree and some vegetables growing in the back yard. Now the landscape most people use are ornamental plants only. Quite a shame really. Not to mention how the farmers are growing with such tight profits margins that the only thing there using to grow there crops is lacking most trace minerals and taste. Synthetic, fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides herbicides might be a food shortage. What are we actually eating? Try googling the dirty dozen vegetable list.
@ no problem mate. I’ve already been doing my part for the environment and growing my own fruit and vegetables in many different techniques. Or doing a fantastic job over there mate. Keep up the fantastic work.
i live in NNSW and farmers are selling up because they have white rot in the ground - nothing will grow for about 50 years on these farms - thats why there is a shortage of garlic in our area
I have two small raised bed gardens that are overflowing with Bean, Tomatoes, Kale, Spinach, celery, lettuce and Coriander. Look up Jadam Korean Organic farming for a simple liquid made from plants- it’s AMAZING!! Loads on UA-cam about it- I had to try it to see if it worked- IT DOES!
We are farmers growing wheat, lentils, barley and until last year, sheep. We have stopped growing lambs because we were sick and tired of being screwed by meat buyers at the livestock markets. We are only one of dozens of farms in our district who have given up on sheep. Im sure this is all being done on purpose.
I live out in farming country. I don't farm as such, just a home vegie garden and a couple animals but I watch and hear what my farmer neighbors go through. I've seen them lose entire crops, thousands of acres at a time, from rain. And I don't mean flooding I mean rain. You see the crops growing great, then we get a big rain storm and suddenly everyones crops are dead. Drive the hour to the nearest town and see all the dead paddocks along the way. It's very sad. Even my home garden dies. I call it the poison rain. It leaves big black spots on my trees and shrubs and a fine white grey dust on the leaves. Where is it coming from?
@@danc.5509 if it were regular chemtrails, what they are now calling stratospheric aerosols, it would happen every time it rains. Which it doesn't. So I really don't know. Perhaps they use different aerosols sometimes? I don't know. But it has to come from the sky in some way so my money is on that stratospheric aerosols still.
Agreed. Its so frustrating that they won't allow anything to be done with this waste. Been at a mining camp where there were fruit trees everywhere. But the mess was not allowed to use the produce in the kitchens.
Thanks Marty.....ur absolutly right about our food chain...ur also a great help...i have a fairly large veg garden n will have a go with bales It looks to be a good system for growing......thanks again from maryborough qld❤😢

I am starting up a farm and the big thing folks are talking about is biochar. Inoculated charcoal forms a solid foundation for a diverse microculture. I expect that growing ones own food will provide enough value to be equivalent to a full time job. As prices go up because of shipping and transportation, getting yours out of the backyard will be a huge plus👍
You're correct. Thanks so much! *Seed save. Seed swap. Food swap. Give to neighbours. Learn to make pickles, sauce and other preserving methods. Homemade fruitstraps 😊
Farmers markets Here’s a thing…. If you want to support them then do it regardless of the weather Those people work hard and show up every week regardless of the weather mostly because they believe in what they’re doing and love it but when it gets too hard tire help then they slip away and look for another way to feed their family People can be so fickle but if we don’t support our communities then how did they support us?
25 years ago I could drop a seed and a plant would pop up in my garden. Today I can barely keep a plant alive to maturity. Is it the town water? So started using rain water still having issues. What is going on in my soil which also no longer has worms like years ago?? I am on a flight path for commercial flights and helicopter and light plane flights?? Just don’t get it.
Try building a small in ground compost pile covered in mulch and see what worms and soil life comes to it. Be a good test. Also look out for Fungi rising in the carbon
@ I have been dotting my backyard lawn with these compost piles, I will dig and check these for worms. I also have an inground compost pile (matured) for grapefruit seedlings I struck from a farm stay. Getting good showers lately so hope they continue to flourish. I will continue to cut in these compost piles in the lawn as it seems to hold rain water rather than simply running off.
Chemtrails spewing barium strontium aluminium etc. Fluoridated water. Pollinators dying due to all G towers (read The Invisible Rainbow to find out why bees are dying and birds..a d it is NOT what we are told. All planned for us. Famine is coming.
Super markets operate on a rather low profit margin. The cost of fuel and the transpiration plus all of the regulations factor in. Shop lifting is a huge problem too. But the farmer needs to organize and make a good living wage too. .Factor in the equipment and land plus weather etc. Then the ignorant will begin to refer to them as the rich farmers. Until some people actually realize just how much work and expense goes into raising food they will blame some one else.
We are already in the food crisis. Australians only want to get truth from the mainstream news, that is why nobody is talking about it. However, I do respect others decision for their life. If they don't want to know don't tell them.
To save on the price of ingredients .. eg a stirfry... I will use half the amount of the expensive ingredient eg a capsicum and freeze the other half for another dish. I will bulk out the recipe with home grown OR cheaper vegetable such as carrots, onions etc. I grow most of my food but I use this strategy when produce is out of season. ❤
All of this is by design and they dont want us eating red meat like our ancestors before us. Has anybody else heard about how livestock will soon be given mrna based jabs??
True! I turned Carnivore 4 months ago because I was sick of being sick! Absolutely every item in the supermarkets,I mean every ,right down to salt has added toxic ingredients. They have been making money making us sick. Giving bs information thru media and doctors etc etc. Carnivore has been sooooo healing!
Yes, you need to break free from the Globalists system. They own us. They control you with debt. From your house & car etc. They own your Food, education, media, pretty much everything. Off grid with your own food supply from local suppliers is the best. Your own water supply as well & your set.
@@debravan-aalst4723It's only illegal if you are caught, guerrilla gardening is another option, plant and nurture seeds in parks, median strips or footpaths. Anywhere you can.
Most probably Australian farmers will become like Japanese farmers. Micro-farmers who produce high quality crops and sell for the price they want to sell at, at the farmers co-op. My area it is pork, cheese, cabbage, lettuce, apples, walnuts and grapes. And once you’ve had the good stuff you don’t wanna touch the stuff on the supermarket shelves. Unless it is something like bananas. Even the rice is cut, hang to dry for 2 weeks then thrashed. Completely different to mechanical harvested rice. And what the locals don’t eat goes off to the posh restaurants in Tokyo.
I'll bet, I've recently stumbled into 5 acres of do what I like, grow what I want. Courtesy of a hard situation. Appreciate the response Marty, keep up the good work
Farming is so undervalued . Hard work and we are expected to do it for free. Caps should be $10 kg. Cost of growing food is through the roof. It is better if we become house flippers and we will get tax concessions and make more money and be more respected
There wouldn't be a problem if people planted a variety of fruiting trees & sow a garden annually. Keep a couple of hens for organic protein. 🍎🍏🍐🍑🍒🍇🍓🥝🥑
yes imagine if everybody just increased their food growing activities by an increment or two. Surpluses would start to appear quickly. Everywhwre you go it'll be, "Hey do you want some bananas, we have way too many", and similar .
All four of my grandparents grew up on and worked on farms and not a single one of their offspring or grandchildren still farm. It was all lost and sold in the 1960's or earlier because they didnt have enough land or were killed in farming accidents. Only two of my grandparents siblings farmed for living and even their children didnt take over their farm, one gave it up to drive school buses. The one remaining farming sibling will pass soon and the huge amount of land will be divided up and sold.
Thanks for peppers 🌶 talk Marty. What a great little podcast thingy you're doing. You know mate back in the 80s, long before I moved in to this place, my street won a sustainability award from local council. I only know this as there's a wiery sign hanging on the street sign post. Lol Well, since then, everyone has bulldozed and rebuilt pretty much, and every time some new developments happen they just get rid of the top soil and leave behind cement render, builders rubble and clod. Anywho, I've spent 10 years regenerative soil agroforestry and now produce enough compost to keep my soil thriving and growing and no need to till, in fact it's all no dig. Well, you have to get a trowel in occasionally to pull up a parsnip etc. But the real reason people don't grow healthy food is that they don't really eat real food. And they certainly don't prepare it if they do consume it.....hello fresh, salad in a bag from the supermarket ready to go etc etc. Most people wouldn't know what eating seasonal produce to their local would even look like. And with Christmas eating topsy-turvy and imported foods from anywhere no one has the slightest idea about what you are doing or saying. But I appreciate the fair dinkum when I see it!
If you want to learn something interesting go find the story behind Samul Benner a Ohioan farmer who developed a investment cycle based on weather patterns. He noticed that there was years of bad weather where prices of food where high due to poor weather and it followed to the stock market. I have heard that we are in a 40 year wet cycle which will mean more failed crops. At the moment there is a world rice shortage, china's rice crop failed due flooding and was relying on a south American country for their grain, who had a good year and was in silos for storage. These storage silos were on a main river system which was involved in a major flood which damaged that rice. And inflation travels in waves, a wave of low inflation flowed by another cycle of high inflation and we are due for another wave of high inflation.
Biggest problem is there is no money in farming, a lot of farmers run off a loss which is why many farming spouses work off the farm. At least that's what happened with our friends and family who farmed. That's why the kids do not want to farm and in all honesty I can't blame them. All the more reason to grow veggies
Thanks for the 'heads up' Marty, most people have no idea how fragile the food supply chain is. We all grew most of our own food in our back yards once and we need to start doing it again. Thanks for the warning!
Very welcome. Thanks for watching

I have a lot of respect for farmers. A thank you to all farmers for what you do. I try to have a small veg garden, it is not easy. I made plenty of mistakes and invested a lot of money with very little return. If I had to rely on myself for food, I would starve in 2 days. So, I need farmers and not politicians in my life. Take care.
We all need the famers,,they should be treated better

But I'm 57 years old and still willing to learn! Bleasings from Saxony! May our future be peacefull! 💙💙💙
G'day mate, what an awesome Birthday present to yourself, top stuff!
The battle is real people. Please listen to Marty and get your gardens established as best you can. Also, stock up on long-term storage foods when they're cheap; rice, white flour, sugar, salt, dried beans and lentils etc. We've got to start living like our grandparents did. Grow, preserve, make, save seeds. Learn how now while we've got all the resources.
Couldn't agree more. Been doing that for years now.
Thanks for sharing and caring. So important to re-educate in this area to make the best changes
@bjcdownunder I'm so grateful for the skills my grandparents had and that they were able to hand onto me as I was growing up from preserving, gardening and hand crafts they're all tools and skills that I now apply to my own life as an adult

We need to develop skills in preserving food as well. Last week we harvested bananas and we dried a third of them and stored them in Kilner jars, some went in the freezer for smoothies. I buy red cabbage when its cheap and make sauerkraut, purchase fruit when its cheap and make jam and marmalade. I plan on learning what the Americans call canning and preserving more food for the pantry. I guess I'm becoming a prepper.
Great skills to have, and they’re not difficult. Just strictly follow the rules with canning. Be sure to try fermenting too, simple and magic. I grow most of my own food and preserve it in many ways.
So interesting you say this, many in the comments are saying exactly this too!
The most nutritious healthful way to consume food is in its original live state when it is full of enzymes and ready for harvest in Nature. The more processing you do afterwards, i.e. cooking, canning and fermenting -(where the once live food slowly decays as it dies)- the more nutrition is lost.
Canning bananas is not difficult (mash them like baby food, add a bit of lemon juice to keep them from Browning), but I find making banana juice is my favorite.
@@KathrynCurtissthat sounds wonderful. Would you care to share how you make your banana juice please?
In 2009 a documentary was released called "Home" that was the first real indication that we were going toward this path of scarcity and the division between rich and poor growing larger, I acted pretty quick leaving my job and extended family in Perth and by 2015 i had purchased 5acres in the southwest of W.A to create a permaculture food forest, fast forward to today 9 years on and it is cranking. I now have about 80 different types of fruit trees with dozens of raised beds, aquaponics and many small soil and worm making systems. I still do my weekly shops at woolies as i can't produce 100% of what my family needs. So glad i made the move when I did. I recommend you find community and start collecting seeds and learn about soil biology and growing your own food NOW.
Well done for thinking forward to protect yourself and your family

@@Kleanmonkey good timing and as a Westie living in Perth it’s great to hear stories like yours. I’ve converted my suburban Perth block w small home into. Y version of food harvesting and have worked thru issues like soils and severe summer heat. Love the challenge
@@sallylyons430 good work, you can do lots on a small block. It's all about the soil!
It's all be design. It's deliberate. Major corporations want the full control over food and the best way is to get rid on most farmers.
Speaking as a farmer, we are fairly self sufficient. We slaughter all our meat on our property and have a large vegie garden but people in town can't do this. Especially meat which is vital for good health.
It needs to go back to community. Locals go to local, individual farms, to get most of their produce and meat but government just doesn't allow that without so much regulation and red tape. But that's how it should be because it's fresh and healthy food compared to large food production. The crap that's in that food is just going to kill you.
WEF, YES? and crap food,,scary

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

I am 52, I have gone through menopause without any symptoms because I eat a high fat diet with lots of animal products such as eggs, butter, cream and meat. You need Fat! Fat builds your hormones.
Yep, love my organic milk, butter and good fat foods. Feel great when I eat them
Do you sell them ?
I went high fat Carnivore 2 years ago at 47 years of age so that I can sail through menopause without an issue. I would only do dairy if I could get raw milk. I am physically and mentally strong and all of my health issues have corrected.
Same! Used to be vegan and an avid vege gardener, but I got really sick. Switching to high fat carnivore has reversed all my diseases. I do have a disaster prep stash of rice, beans and every variety of heritage vege seeds but think that’s all it’s good for; famine food. My first choice for nutrients and health is meat, eggs and butter!
They need to be teaching gardening and animal husbandry in schools. The kids would be a shit ton less depressed if they connected to nature, and they would learn actual life skills.
This is ton Smart, its not good for the gouv.
They have Agg classes here in our local school, my daughter enjoyed it
Im really sad about what is happening in our country. Price of food and cost of living.
I remember when i was a child and we had veggie shops, butchers, bakeries and such. All independently owned. Now we have these massive corporations that own everything.
Its so depressing, we have no future. 😢
I'M LEAVING TO ASIA
I’m 39 , agree 100%.
It truly sucks how it has come about! This is worth mentioning in a video I believe
I lived in Thailand for 5 years and my wife is Filipina. We have also discussed about starting a farm back there if we can afford to down the line
The majority of what's for sale in supermarkets isn't food. The crisis is that we became reliant on a toxic system that doesn't work and is completely unnecessary. Local food production is absolutely simple, possible, and far better for our health and our financial wellbeing. We do have the power to stop relying on a system that doesn't work.
We do yes in many ways, the world is shifting
Tx Marty just subscribed. I started my own food growing 4 years ago when the whole sh%@ hit the fan thinking people in my Perth suburb of Victoria Park would do the same. No change in 4 years Re community garden but I’m getting the biggest thrill from it all. It was hard work to set up the plots as we need to contain the beds due to nothing but sand to start with. All organic and loving it. I’ve loved learning thru failure and watching my improvements. My zucchini’s atm are world class lol. And my tomatoes are fab. I’m 65 and didn’t plan this would be my lifestyle but so happy it is
Love it, congrats
Back in the fifties farmers sold fruit, veg, eggs door to door, setting up a customer base that way. Perhaps they should look at this again. My mum used to buy her fruit and veg this way. Maybe not the way to make big bucks but it may help us all survive. Get more bang for your buck anyway. I tossed a deal with Woolworths because they wanted me to produce big, have a huge worker base and make as little as 5%. I told the buyer you must be mad. I'm making 50% now without all those overheads. No deal. I said plainly, overheads are too high to work on a 5% margin.
Thank you for standing strong on human ethic and having a moral compass.
Bring back the fifties door to door, great model
Thank you
I'm with ya mate. Been gardening for years in just a normal back yard. I do think it also important for people to learn how to preserve what they grow. It's a dying skill things like canning, water bathing, simple dehydration methods.
Luckily with the internet people can get skilled up faster than ever
I am considering dehydrating. Lasts ages, travels if necessary) light.
@paulawagstaff686 I highly recommend leek powder and mushroom powder. I dehydrate so much even frozzen peas and corn for long term storage. Grated carrot and parsnip when my garden produces to much. All my leaf greens like kale, spanch, Brussels sprouts leafs mix together as a green powder to add vitamins hidden in food. Onions powdered is great well. I seem to love to powder my dry stuff but also do chuncks for some things.
@paulawagstaff686 and yes travels light. I do lots for my parents who caravan all over. They also love it as at boarders dry stuff is aloud when fresh is taken away in most states
I watched Europa: The Last Battle. It is all by design so nothing is a surprise.
Thanks for sharing
Israel first is the policy of all traitirs
I'm eating home processed chicken tonight which was culled this morning. Plant a garden and raising your own chickens helps.
Good on ya! Chicken from the backyard is the best.
@martysgarden suburban farming like my grand parents did. Dispatching was at sunrise and done quietly, so the neighbours didn't have any reason to have a winge.
This video is a good heads up for anyone thinking about the future and being too dependent on big business.
@samiamnot8906 I agree that the quails are great. My wife hated my old quails, though, because of the noise they made, and chickens were easier for her to get used to. I'll go back into them when an acreage becomes a reality in the future. I have a garden with chickens and honey bees for the moment.
You are right, bury some spuds and sweet potatoes people... Govt in Netherlands banned farmers across whole country growing any winter crops last year.. no cabbages etc. In Germany govt, mandated farmers in the potato growing region only allowed to grow bio fuel crops. Anyone would think the powers that be want to cause a global famine. Heaven knows our Govt loves to tell us what to do and what to think .... sorry about the rant :)
(
Down right criminal, No worries good rant and should be said
Robyn, could you share your source(s) of info on the claims you made. I can't find anything about the government mandates in Europe that you mentioned.
The thing to remember is that current global climate change - which big fossil fuel corporations have understood, and denied, since the late 1950s - is due to human activities, and the use of nitrogen fertilizers is actually a huge source of greenhouse gas emissions. So the problem isn't what governments are doing, it's that they didn't start making these changes (with farmers' input) 15-20 years ago. The so-called Green Revolution has had huge unintended yet deadly consequences.
@@martysgarden It's only "downright criminal" if it's true. Have you found any sources backing up what she shared? I couldn't.
@@greenhearted8453 Why do you think the dutch farmers have been having huge protests and blocking highways with tractors?
Sadly this is all by design and they don't want us eating well
Suicide & depression is huge for our poor Aussie farmers...They dont get a fare deal from our2 major super markets
We have something called the death tax here and mid sized farmers want to pass the farm and land to their children but the children can't afford to keep it.
So sad for sure. I forgot to mention the debt bubbles
sCARY
My brother in law was a dairy farmer, like his dad before him. He self deleted over a decade ago with the stresses dairy farmers were (and probably still are) up against.
A big part of the aging of farming is the same as the core problem with housing affordability. Just as a house that was brought to $40K in the 70's is now worth millions today, farm land that went for $35/acre in the 70s is now worth thousands/acre. Gone are the days when a shearer could save his wages, buy some land and start farming.
True, they are gone
Hit the nail on the head Marty!! Food insecurity is VERY real and VERY scary!! We are too complacent, relying on greedy corporations who are running our farmers out of business. Farmers burying their crops rather than give it to the supermarket chains at well below cost is a very real thing too! My grandfather grew up to see WWI, the Great Depression (which hit Australia much harder due to inept government), WWII and he grew the most amazing 'Victory' Garden. He grew 50% to 60% of his fruit and veg needs - organically too. He lived a long, healthy life. Food insecurity can be a tool of government control - cow fart taxes eliminating needed protein, and now the rubbish about home vegetable gardeners contributing to climate change. Now more than ever, we need to grow something and keep that money away from the greedy corporates.
Well said Matt,
I've been growing veggies for years. I enjoy it, so the trouble of getting set up is negligible to the joy of eating your own home-grown food.
Nice, stoked your up and running
Been doing it all my life still do now 76.
Make my own pickles a jams can still preserve food. Going to look into preserving meat.
Good on you for making people more aware and helping us in becoming more self reliant ⭐️🙏
Thank you, so sad what may be coming down the pipeline. It's already bad enough
@@martysgardenyour not wrong, we have to stick together
I totally support backyard vege gardening, however, new housing estates don’t offer very large sized blocks, which doesn’t make backyard gardening very easy. Perhaps local shires should set more areas aside in the planning stage to allow community gardeners to produce locally grown stuff.
It's a great point you make. I started the Victory garden series for those who want to grow in small spaces and have no ground to dig into
Local councils have protected the big two for decades. We had a farmer on the edge of the suburbs trying to sell his stuff locally. SHUT DOWN even though people protested. NO COMPETITION FOR THE BIGS.
Protected, quite sad
Where was this?
If people can save money by gardening they will be able to divert their money to buying Australian beef and lamb.
Such a great comment, I started doing that just recently
If we don't look after our farmers, we will be up sh!t creek without a paddle. Governments have more control over hungry people. Quote "Let's get one thing straight: Hunger is a political condition. Too many people think that our hunger crisis is the result of some kind of scarcity or lack of food - but nothing could be further from the truth. It is the corporate and government control of food systems that are harming the most vulnerable in Australia today.
Unfortunately 1 million Aussies are going hungry and missing meals as we speak!
😢
@@martysgardenYet at the same time farmers are being asked to destroy crops that don't look appealing.
@@chrismckell5353if I see it I buy it.😊
Part of the cause is the insane importation of more food consumers into Australia from the rest of the world.
Labels say it all
The other issue is the cost of farms. If cannot raise a couple of million dollars you do not have the money to buy a farm and keep it going as you start it up. Most people in their 20s or 30s has no chance of raising this sort of capital.
You make a good point, scary thinking who's hands these farms and land may go to
Hi Marty...Just found your channel & this is your first video I'm watching. I live in the AG belt of South Georgia USA...I've noticed BIG changes here with farms, rivers & the grocery stores. I am 69 years old & limited on ground to grow veggies. I just wanted to let you know that this crisis is world wide & I place most (if not all) the blame on our government. I found a guy on UA-cam who is sharing what he has found & has documents to prove it.. I appreciate you for sharing with others...we must stand firm and help our neighbors as much as we can.
Love they neighbour!
We need Australian grown food only.. the top quality stuff.. seasonal.. not the garbage we are paying top prices for while our good stuff goes overseas..we are
100%
Great video Marty. Not to mention farmland being sold off for housing estates. Grrr - there is one across the road from us and I saw one in Casino - prime fertile growing land, heaps of irrigation water - now Housing estate. Our governments are so corrupt and greedy they would rather people starve so they can make a buck. We must all look out for ourselves and our loved ones and grow as much as we can and share, Thanks for what you are doingxxx
Thanks for sharing here, good land should be saved for agriculture, We have plenty that can be used for housing in other places. We need houses but there is such a thing called zoning and it needs to be done right
And how do you get land or property to grow food in a country where homes cost over a million dollars? I live in my car. This country is F....d
Leasing small plots or crop sharing. Sorry about your housing situation it's brutal out there the cost of living
It is ludicrous what real estate is. Why would anyone buy land to grow cheap undervalued food.
You could lease a plot in a community garden. I hope you're housing situation improves soon.
@martysgarden you can only stay in one town for so long. After about a month or so you start to get fines for sleeping in your car and need to move to a new town. People are horrible when you are in this situation. It makes it impossible to get out of the situation.
@@dantheman5589 developed countries love that there is a lower impoverished class so they can feel better about themselves. Australia has mastered the art of poor shaming
I'm hearing the same from Europe and here in the UK farmers have been warning of a looming food crisis for a couple of years already. It seems that all political parties and all western media are staying silent on this which is very worrying. I've tried to convince friends to stock up at least a year's worth of food but they don't want to believe it's going to happen. I did some research after reading an estimate that Britain is 60% self sufficient in food. It became pretty obvious early on that we are anything but. Given the history of corporations allowing millions to starve to death rather than lose a penny in profit(check out the Irish and Indian famines under British colonial rule. 25 'major' famines during the British Raj alone). With the Clot shot and the destruction of the NHS the cull is well under way and claiming hundreds of thousands of lives, a shock to our food supply chain will be enough to tip millions over the edge.
Sadly the British climate and limited access to the land 'Bush tucker' will not be an option for us. 💀☠ WEF
You are right the silence is very worrying,, why isn't it being mentioned. The governments lack sympathy maybe?
@@martysgardenthe individual governments are under the thumb of the international banksters sorry to say

Hope not
Yes..the next pandemic is almost ready to roll out...
Or you end up with situation like where i live in New Zealand where they want to build houses on prime food producing land, increasing the need to import more food which then pushes the price up and who knows what the quality would be like
I believe it's similar there, so sad these current times
Because the Govt is too scared to talk about it . Our Govt is owned by - you know how !
Voting Labor out would be a good start.

lets put the LIBS in power for the next 100 years and from what you are saying all will be fixed ,,Dont sound right when its put that way, What you have failed to see , is the Government is owned,, controlled ,,bought off and is used as a tool ,To think in any other way would be so naïve. Its this division of LIBS or LABOR voting that is 1/2 the trouble, There is a lot more to learn about the corrupt system you and me live in. If you think what I have written is BS ,,,,, the cricket is starting soon Just like a pacifier for a baby ,ps The footy too later
You only have to look at what they are doing with eggs to know that this is 100% true. Sure, there were some poultry farms whose chooks got destroyed because of bird flu - but the numbers don't add up. Half the time, Woolies is completely out of eggs, and Coles is almost as bad. The free range eggs I used to get at a good price have now doubled in price, most places. Eggs are a key source of protein for many people, especially for those who have to feed hungry growing kids, and they used to be a relatively cheap source of high quality protein too.
Now, they are trying to get people to go for manufactured protein, and cheap cereal products - none of them high quality foods. And no good for anyone except the big agribusiness companies...
Yep, that's why I got chooks again and sell what we dont eat cheaply
Wow. This timing is AMAZING!! Just this morning my mind was heavy on this very subject. the WHAT IF of it and here comes Marty with this video. Thanks for the confirmation of this idea. I plan to be more serious this year in my gardening efforts.
Time to educate and get to growing more
There is plenty of food at the Farmers Markets, screw the supermarkets. Also, products do not go up in cost, money goes down in value.
Yep, you are right!
90% of the produce is chinese farmed at the markets in Queensland :) So they aren't even selling you Australian grub, it's imported chinese garbage at lower prices.
The one stall at the market that had Australian grown produce was charging similar to super markets, no point in buying it that way, would rather wait 2-3 years and grow my own.
Called prepping, the word used and was laughed about big time majorly for the last five years.
Who's laughing now, right. The forward thinkers are way ahead of what is coming!
We really need to go back to growing in our own back yards.
The home grown kinda stopped / slowed down in the 80's when the Greeks and Italians started aging out.
Next generation didnt want to.
We are only now seeing the importance of going back to that grow-your-own mindset.
Share what you don't use with friends. We'll all cut down on our vege and fruit purchases.
Canning needs to come back.
I'm disabled and working on my own with the help of supports.
If you don't have land, seek out community gardens where you can plant your own there.
Great point. Thanks for the advice.
Good on you Marty. That needed to be said. I did an organic gardening course 40 years ago when I was 32 and have grown organic fruit and veggies ever since. I have surplus and have plenty to give to friends which I do regularly. When my husband and I rented a flat in Sydney with a balcony many years ago we grew vegies in pots on the balcony. Amazing what one can achieve with a small space, which is what you just said. Cheers
It's really is eye-opening how much you can produce in a tiny area, blew me away!
Exactly mate. My friend just walked from his farm. 30yrs he milked 7 days a week. Went broke. Sold it for pitance.
I just a bought 5 acres homestead to provide for myself. Taking my propping to the next level. Meat fruit and veg etc.
We all must ramp it up before its too late or we will pay the ultimate price.
Right you are education is a must
Learn skills now.
Knowledge and know how will be the only way to survive what's coming.
I wish we were wrong but it's getting closer every day
@martysgarden it is, unfortunately. Sad thing is so many don't see it and won't while there's food on the shelf still. And we know exactly what will happen once that's gone.
As preppers all we can do is keep spreading the word and hope some listen
The supply chain issues heading our way are probably underappreciated by most people.
However possibly the number one reason for growing food is because the products we are getting in supermarkets now are mostly barely fit for regular consumption such that increasing numbers of doctors are starting to point the finger there as the causes for obesity and metabolic disorders plaguing society, diabetes etc. The sugar saturation almost everything is just one problem although its a big one. Our commercial systems and governance systems are desperately trying to look away and ignore this, to distract us from an embedded chronic issue in society. By growing your own food you get excercise and mental health benefits from the inherent problem solving (gradening plus kitchen creativity) required besides a natural increase in consumption of whole foods which dramatically addresses the medical issues i raised. Plus pesticide free food can be grown. You can add very high quality protien sources by keeping chickens for eggs and meat. We have some cattle and sheep too and swap food with neighbours.
You make some really good solid points here Lachlan
What about the farmers starting co-ops and direct delivery to consumers via farmers markets (bypass supermarkets)?
I think in some places it can work
My one and only goal right now is to buy a beef cattle farm with a water source. This will be invaluable in a couple of years.
Actually could be a great time to get into beef cattle farming-absolutely be in high demand as keto and carnivore is growing so fast because of how optimal the diets are for human health. Might want to consider if you can operate privately and have customers as paid members. Legally Operate outside the system. To protect yourself from government overreach;virus scares and climate change scares will be used to create 24 hour surveillance, microchipping all animals, RNA vaccines (making them mandatory) adding synthetic enzymes suppressors to your cattle etc look out for the narrative from big agriculture Synthetic is sustainable
100%
It's an essential life skill that we don't have because we've been cooped up living in apartments working in offices. People need to get back to the land, go off grid, grow your own food and form communities. 98% of all products sold in the supermarkets are toxic, including the fruit and vegetables which are sprayed with pesticides. There's only a tiny organic section that is very limited. Time for change - thanks Marty. Subscribed. Living in Brisbane, Australia.
Thank you, I agree
Yes, I agree. We live in middle USA on 25 acres. I have planted over 70 fruit trees and many fruiting bushes, since we bought this home in 2016. The trees started producing fruit this past summer. With that and our garden, we are blessed with an abundance of food.
It's not food being unavailable. It is the reduction of variation in food. Also lack of nutritional value in the food... it will all be vegitable oil, flour and sugar...
What's the difference?
Flour is still good.
I see your point.
Your on the money there and I probably need to talk about this more in the near future
Some of the products are highly processed these days
Vegetable or seed oil are an industrial lubricant, and terrible for your health and wellness, trust me I have researched as well collect used oil and sell..
Grow your own, and avoid the rush!
Knowing the truth behind locally sourced food is also becoming more difficult. Recently I learned that a honey making business on King Island of all places is sourcing more than 60% of its core product from China, but is still selling the honey as premium King Island produce.
In that case it’s purely around profit no different to the big two.
Food security should be a front of line issue but government is strangely quiet on the subject.
The big two are left to do as they please.
Love that I have found your channel.
Many thanks 🙏
What a scam, they should be ashamed
This is why I am always skeptical of locals too. They're just as likely to become scummy if they aren't getting their dollar.
Eg;
Most of the beef farmers I can order f rom charge over 70% more than the grocery market. I tried explaining to them that if the 1kg of beef mince 85/15 fat costs $12 in the grocery store but they charge me $20 + postage, then I will be forced to buy from the grocery store, regardless of how much the 'farmer' gets ripped off.
If I cannot afford your prices I will buy elsewhere, if you think (like the tradies) that you can hike your prices up indefinitely, eg; charge $120 for hanging a door (true story btw) you're dead wrong that there won't be a loss of revenue.
@@Rexhunterj
Yeah unfortunately that is the corner we have been pushed in to. I heard some lady complaining about paying $4 for a loaf of bread in the supermarket at the self-checkout. I'm paying $10 a loaf 🤦 For how long I can afford that I do not know.
Soon as there's demand, more people will grow or invest in growing, I've bought an acre and grow most of my own food, now that's me and my family no longer buying much fruit and veg from woolworths and coles, it took 3 yrs to really set up though
Thanks for sharing Wayne, I bet your stoked now after all the work you have put in
Sadly major corporations are buying up family farms. Sadly many younger people want to farm but it's way to expensive to get into farming.
Yep, it's near impossible to start. I have some friends who have though recently
I'm involved in irrigation, and I'm hearing the same stories.
So few people are willing to follow the generational farming business.
And the vast majority currently farming are 70+.
The government and the big 2 have been screwing farmers for years, and it only gets worse every year.
Australia is most definitely in for an ugly collapse in the not too distant future.
I don't think many at all actually understand mate, they're heads are in the sand, too many distractions to blind the issues as well.
Throwing out another thought.
I wonder how many of us on the other side of the camera would be interested in workshops etc.
We have 2.5 acres, I know I would.
I don't have any time to do anything with it atm due to helping family, but would definitely love to get this place cranking out some awesome fresh food.
If it's something you might consider then let me know.
So true, we are continually distracted or want to no know
If I have time it's something that I may do

Marty I live in Geraldton WA (sandy soil and hard water) have tried to grow vegetables that I thought were suitable to my climate, but I am shocked at the continual destruction of my crops by various bugs, viruses and the summer sun...... I hate spraying insecticides on my growing food but it seems inevitable. I have tried many home made sprays but these have to be applied more often etc increasing workload with limited success. Currently I am only having success with heritage tomatoes and spinach in pots and they too need constant attention.
I would focus on container gardening and consider worm farming to produce organic nutrients for them.
Gypsum mate!
Raised beds and compost!!! It takes a few years to enrich the soil. Grass clippings and leaves, kitchen scrapes too. Ask around or get nosy and look at what other people are growing. Go to the local extension office and take a class.
Use a bug zapper to control the moths population. No moths no caterpillars.🐛
Farmers are
forced into selling to the big 2. We had farmers markets in our area and one had to close down because insurance and government regulations to run them is now so high.
Corporations are buying up farming land and employ woofers and “low skilled working immigrants” and treat them poorly wage wise forcing family farmers to do the same to be competitive.
We need to support farmers on the ground even if it’s a pick your own produce type of system and force insurance companies to stop scamming or pay insurance for them.
You bring forward some really great points, thanks for sharing them here

@@An.era.we.will.never.forget
Yeah, and if you try planting a lemon tree at a park, it will surely get ripped out by the council. When I lived in the city burbs I just used to ride my bike around and pick lemons off the trees overhanging people's fences (lots of Greeks and Vietnamese in the area). One bloke even had orange trees growing on his nature strip, I knocked on his door to ask if I could grab a few and there was no answer. So I went to the tree to grab a couple and heard this booming voice yelling at me out of a window from the house 😆 He was majorly pissed I had knocked on his door and was taking oranges off what was not even his property.
Once, most people grew their own fruit and vegetables!
That they did!
And had chickens. Would often swap produce with neighbours.
When I was a child, there were fruit trees planted along the railway line for anyone to harvest from. About 20 years ago, probably now the council removed them all as the big 2 were not happy with people accessing free fruit.

Growing up in the 90s in Melbourne we had an Italian family living next door to us. It was really incredible the amount of food they grew on a 1/4 acre suburban block. Lots of chooks, fun memories there.
Thanks Marty, mate I reckon we're all trying. Unfortunately a lot of people work so many hours. In winter the only time is on the weekends to do some good ole vegie gardening. Yes I agree, the duopoly is making fools of all, including the poor farmer.
Cheers mate.
Yes, we can only do what we can do, time can be limited and is a great point that wasn't covered. Thanks, mate
Great post- we should all be growing something, anything in our spaces/yards. Even if it only a lot of one thing, you can trade your produce and/or preserve it. The greatest feeling is to plant a seed, nurture and watch it, then harvest and enjoy your efforts. Anything I am able to grow is something I don’t have to buy and transport home.
For sure, a new culture into growing your own is developing
Great video! As a fellow aggi, I’m seeing what you see too. By the end of my course I could see that a career in Ag wasn’t financially viable and I went into white collar work, despite my passion for working on the land. Instead I’ve always grown my own farm in my spare time! Who would have thought that Ag would be my hobby and the skills a dying trade.
Keep up the great work!
Hi fellow Agi, thanks for sharing this here
I’ve started taking my garden seriously this year.
Good news, baby steps each day and it comes together quicker than you think
100%, the average age of the farmer is something like 65yo. And as you said most of them have no succession plan. Land prices are prohibitive so any young aspiring farmers are priced out of the market. What you’re teaching on here is going to be priceless in years to come.
Priceless for sure
We don't need to import any food in Australia
we also don't need to import any more people
We should never need to
Nothing new unfortunately. Remember when everyone have a fruit tree and some vegetables growing in the back yard. Now the landscape most people use are ornamental plants only. Quite a shame really. Not to mention how the farmers are growing with such tight profits margins that the only thing there using to grow there crops is lacking most trace minerals and taste. Synthetic, fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides herbicides might be a food shortage. What are we actually eating?
Try googling the dirty dozen vegetable list.
Thanks for sharing, you make a great point!
@ no problem mate. I’ve already been doing my part for the environment and growing my own fruit and vegetables in many different techniques. Or doing a fantastic job over there mate. Keep up the fantastic work.
i live in NNSW and farmers are selling up because they have white rot in the ground - nothing will grow for about 50 years on these farms - thats why there is a shortage of garlic in our area
Hey Amanda. Couple of questions. What causes white rot? And how wide spread is it?
So sad to hear that
I have two small raised bed gardens that are overflowing with Bean, Tomatoes, Kale, Spinach, celery, lettuce and Coriander.
Look up Jadam Korean Organic farming for a simple liquid made from plants- it’s AMAZING!! Loads on UA-cam about it- I had to try it to see if it worked- IT DOES!

We are farmers growing wheat, lentils, barley and until last year, sheep. We have stopped growing lambs because we were sick and tired of being screwed by meat buyers at the livestock markets. We are only one of dozens of farms in our district who have given up on sheep. Im sure this is all being done on purpose.
Don’t give up go direct. Like we did. If you have good product do it your self
As the livestock market buyers become more monopolized they can force down the price for your sheep?
So sorry to hear that, but I appreciate you sharing your story here
Yet the price of meat for consumers is astronomical.
This is so sad. Could you partner with a local home kill business and sell direct to public so you see the profit and not the big companies?
I live out in farming country. I don't farm as such, just a home vegie garden and a couple animals but I watch and hear what my farmer neighbors go through. I've seen them lose entire crops, thousands of acres at a time, from rain. And I don't mean flooding I mean rain. You see the crops growing great, then we get a big rain storm and suddenly everyones crops are dead. Drive the hour to the nearest town and see all the dead paddocks along the way. It's very sad. Even my home garden dies. I call it the poison rain. It leaves big black spots on my trees and shrubs and a fine white grey dust on the leaves. Where is it coming from?
That's really sad. Thanks for sharing your story with us here
Chemtrails?
What area are you in? @pranicmegan
@@KerriEverlasting About 100kms west of Quirindi. Out toward the Pilliga.
@@danc.5509 if it were regular chemtrails, what they are now calling stratospheric aerosols, it would happen every time it rains. Which it doesn't. So I really don't know. Perhaps they use different aerosols sometimes? I don't know. But it has to come from the sky in some way so my money is on that stratospheric aerosols still.
Worked for 7 years in the mines and 17mths at Ayers Rock resort and witnessed mountains of wastage of food being thrown in the rubbish. So sinful.
Wow, so much waste
Agreed. Its so frustrating that they won't allow anything to be done with this waste. Been at a mining camp where there were fruit trees everywhere. But the mess was not allowed to use the produce in the kitchens.
keep going some real advice is needed thanks
Thanks, will do my best
The food you grow yourself also tastes better and you know it's free of toxins and as fresh as possible.
100%
Problem with growing food at home is your need is home
Yes, sad that many don't these days.
Thanks Marty.....ur absolutly right about our food chain...ur also a great help...i have a fairly large veg garden n will have a go with bales
It looks to be a good system for growing......thanks again from maryborough qld❤😢
Thanks for watching and commenting here. I hope I am wrong and farmers have some incentive to keep on growing and stay profitable.
Starve us & make us dependent rather than independent.
Scary
@@martysgarden it sure is. I wish more people would wake up to what’s being done to us.

I am starting up a farm and the big thing folks are talking about is biochar. Inoculated charcoal forms a solid foundation for a diverse microculture.
I expect that growing ones own food will provide enough value to be equivalent to a full time job. As prices go up because of shipping and transportation, getting yours out of the backyard will be a huge plus👍
People are always talking about something, soils, biodiversity above and below the ground using regeneration methods is the true path.
You're correct. Thanks so much! *Seed save. Seed swap. Food swap. Give to neighbours. Learn to make pickles, sauce and other preserving methods. Homemade fruitstraps 😊
Seed save, yes indeed
@martysgarden I have a small seed saving patch. Otherwise they can get invasive on room, when trying to put the next plot in...
Farmers markets
Here’s a thing….
If you want to support them then do it regardless of the weather
Those people work hard and show up every week regardless of the weather mostly because they believe in what they’re doing and love it but when it gets too hard tire help then they slip away and look for another way to feed their family
People can be so fickle but if we don’t support our communities then how did they support us?
I have a close friend who comes on the channel from time to time who is a farmer and sells at the markets
Bought a sweet potato yesterday for $4.60. Almost killed me. Planted some sweet potatoes today
25 years ago I could drop a seed and a plant would pop up in my garden. Today I can barely keep a plant alive to maturity. Is it the town water? So started using rain water still having issues. What is going on in my soil which also no longer has worms like years ago?? I am on a flight path for commercial flights and helicopter and light plane flights?? Just don’t get it.
Try building a small in ground compost pile covered in mulch and see what worms and soil life comes to it. Be a good test. Also look out for Fungi rising in the carbon
@ I have been dotting my backyard lawn with these compost piles, I will dig and check these for worms. I also have an inground compost pile (matured) for grapefruit seedlings I struck from a farm stay. Getting good showers lately so hope they continue to flourish. I will continue to cut in these compost piles in the lawn as it seems to hold rain water rather than simply running off.
Chemtrails spewing barium strontium aluminium etc. Fluoridated water. Pollinators dying due to all G towers (read The Invisible Rainbow to find out why bees are dying and birds..a d it is NOT what we are told. All planned for us. Famine is coming.
nematodes? Phosphate deficiency?
Try bio char, I have had huge improvement since using
Large supermarkets are the problem as they rip off the farmers that's why a lot of farmers are selling their products online like online butchers
So good if they can take to the market and sell in other ways such as online
Super markets operate on a rather low profit margin. The cost of fuel and the transpiration plus all of the regulations factor in. Shop lifting is a huge problem too. But the farmer needs to organize and make a good living wage too. .Factor in the equipment and land plus weather etc. Then the ignorant will begin to refer to them as the rich farmers. Until some people actually realize just how much work and expense goes into raising food they will blame some one else.
We are already in the food crisis. Australians only want to get truth from the mainstream news, that is why nobody is talking about it. However, I do respect others decision for their life. If they don't want to know don't tell them.
Yes, so true if they don't want to know that's their choice
To save on the price of ingredients .. eg a stirfry... I will use half the amount of the expensive ingredient eg a capsicum and freeze the other half for another dish. I will bulk out the recipe with home grown OR cheaper vegetable such as carrots, onions etc. I grow most of my food but I use this strategy when produce is out of season. ❤
Thanks for sharing your strategy, it helps others who read the comments to make good choices
All of this is by design and they dont want us eating red meat like our ancestors before us. Has anybody else heard about how livestock will soon be given mrna based jabs??
Never heard about it before
@@martysgarden
Apparently it’s a vaccine developed to reduce their methane emissions.
And more poison for our bodies
True! I turned Carnivore 4 months ago because I was sick of being sick! Absolutely every item in the supermarkets,I mean every ,right down to salt has added toxic ingredients. They have been making money making us sick. Giving bs information thru media and doctors etc etc. Carnivore has been sooooo healing!
Yep, our dog has a raw diet, she's nearly 9, a German shepherd and oh so healthy.
Grow your own food, simple. Ignore the government and just do your own thing and live your life.
Exactly
I like that, do your own thing!
until the ptb make it illegal
Yes, you need to break free from the Globalists system. They own us. They control you with debt. From your house & car etc. They own your Food, education, media, pretty much everything.
Off grid with your own food supply from local suppliers is the best. Your own water supply as well & your set.
@@debravan-aalst4723It's only illegal if you are caught, guerrilla gardening is another option, plant and nurture seeds in parks, median strips or footpaths. Anywhere you can.
Most probably Australian farmers will become like Japanese farmers. Micro-farmers who produce high quality crops and sell for the price they want to sell at, at the farmers co-op.
My area it is pork, cheese, cabbage, lettuce, apples, walnuts and grapes. And once you’ve had the good stuff you don’t wanna touch the stuff on the supermarket shelves. Unless it is something like bananas.
Even the rice is cut, hang to dry for 2 weeks then thrashed. Completely different to mechanical harvested rice. And what the locals don’t eat goes off to the posh restaurants in Tokyo.
That's gold. I wonder how may will take that position down the line. I ate the rice my wifes family in the Philippines grew and it awesome!
We’ll stand up help the farmer stop wind turbines and solar panels , rare mineral mining from China. Australia has lost food bowl.
Wind turbines, gee I despise those things
... read packing of frozen fruit and veges. Most not grown in Aust.
Sad
Having started my garden 4 years ago I am doing quite well being self sufficient and I only spend money on carb and if I want some meat.
So good James, doing much the same here now
@@martysgarden I could produce my own meat too and I did once but I can't bring myself to kill my own chickens anymore haha.
@@jameslin1478 I get it, i cant either
Theres plenty of young blokes wanting to be farmers, just so unobtainable thanks to how much it costs
And it's not always what it seems when you get there, I learned that with my journey
I'll bet, I've recently stumbled into 5 acres of do what I like, grow what I want. Courtesy of a hard situation. Appreciate the response Marty, keep up the good work
@@stevewarnock919 cheers
Farming is so undervalued . Hard work and we are expected to do it for free. Caps should be $10 kg. Cost of growing food is through the roof. It is better if we become house flippers and we will get tax concessions and make more money and be more respected
hmmm what's it all coming to,,,wow
There wouldn't be a problem if people planted a variety of fruiting trees & sow a garden annually. Keep a couple of hens for organic protein. 🍎🍏🍐🍑🍒🍇🍓🥝🥑
Comes down to space and being very creative in small suburban landscapes
yes imagine if everybody just increased their food growing activities by an increment or two. Surpluses would start to appear quickly. Everywhwre you go it'll be, "Hey do you want some bananas, we have way too many", and similar .
All four of my grandparents grew up on and worked on farms and not a single one of their offspring or grandchildren still farm. It was all lost and sold in the 1960's or earlier because they didnt have enough land or were killed in farming accidents. Only two of my grandparents siblings farmed for living and even their children didnt take over their farm, one gave it up to drive school buses. The one remaining farming sibling will pass soon and the huge amount of land will be divided up and sold.
Thanks for sharing your family story here with us all
Thanks for peppers 🌶 talk Marty. What a great little podcast thingy you're doing. You know mate back in the 80s, long before I moved in to this place, my street won a sustainability award from local council. I only know this as there's a wiery sign hanging on the street sign post. Lol
Well, since then, everyone has bulldozed and rebuilt pretty much, and every time some new developments happen they just get rid of the top soil and leave behind cement render, builders rubble and clod.
Anywho, I've spent 10 years regenerative soil agroforestry and now produce enough compost to keep my soil thriving and growing and no need to till, in fact it's all no dig. Well, you have to get a trowel in occasionally to pull up a parsnip etc.
But the real reason people don't grow healthy food is that they don't really eat real food. And they certainly don't prepare it if they do consume it.....hello fresh, salad in a bag from the supermarket ready to go etc etc.
Most people wouldn't know what eating seasonal produce to their local would even look like.
And with Christmas eating topsy-turvy and imported foods from anywhere no one has the slightest idea about what you are doing or saying.
But I appreciate the fair dinkum when I see it!
Sad that greed smashed down the culture of that street
If you want to learn something interesting go find the story behind Samul Benner a Ohioan farmer who developed a investment cycle based on weather patterns. He noticed that there was years of bad weather where prices of food where high due to poor weather and it followed to the stock market. I have heard that we are in a 40 year wet cycle which will mean more failed crops. At the moment there is a world rice shortage, china's rice crop failed due flooding and was relying on a south
American country for their grain, who had a good year and was in silos for storage. These storage silos were on a main river system which was involved in a major flood which damaged that rice. And inflation travels in waves, a wave of low inflation flowed by another cycle of high inflation and we are due for another wave of high inflation.
Thanks for sharing and caring
Biggest problem is there is no money in farming, a lot of farmers run off a loss which is why many farming spouses work off the farm.
At least that's what happened with our friends and family who farmed.
That's why the kids do not want to farm and in all honesty I can't blame them.
All the more reason to grow veggies
That's a very common story of others in the family needing to take on a job outside of the farm
That is/was my family in the USA. The family farm is now just a hobby, with taxes being taken.
