Скачать или смотреть The Backyard Movement That Fed America During WWII

During World War II, millions of Americans turned lawns, rooftops, and empty lots into Victory Gardens - and the results were staggering.

By the mid-1940s, these home gardens produced nearly 40% of the vegetables eaten in the United States, easing pressure on supply chains, supporting the war effort, and reshaping everyday life on the home front.

In this short video, we explore:
• Why Victory Gardens became so important
• How ordinary families grew food at home
• What shortages made them necessary
• And why their legacy still matters today

This is a story of resilience, self-reliance, and quiet patriotism - long before “grow local” was a movement.

🌱 History has a way of circling back.
